Jesus has many lovers of his kingdom of heaven, but he has few bearers of his cross. many desire his consolation, but few desire his tribulation. he finds many comrades in eating and drinking, but he finds few hands who will be with him in his abstinence and fastingbut those who love jesus purely for himself, and not for their own profit or convenience, bless him as heartily in temptation and tribulation and in all other adversities as they do in time of consolation. and if he never sent them consolation, they would still bless and praise him.

Faith stands or falls on the truth that the future with god is more satisfying than the one promised by sin. where this truth is embraced and god is cherished above all, the power of sin is broken. the power of sin is the power of deceit. sin has power through promising a false future. in temptation sin comes to us and says: "the future with god on his narrow way is hard and unhappy, but the way i promise is pleasant and satisfying." the power of sin is in the power of this lie.
