We pray, “Save us from the time of trial” or “Lead us not into temptation,” depending on the translation. Reading these words in the context of the entire gospel, we can see immediately that God intends to answer—has already answered—this prayer. We will be saved from the time of ultimate trial, sheltered from it and spared from ever experiencing its true horrors, because there is One who already has experienced those horrors in our place. Because Jesus was not saved from temptation, we are.
