We are more tempted to sin when our power is increased.
I sinned as a teacher. I punished some kids by getting them to write out lines. I was only 22 and didn't have a clue. No one mentored me. But anyway I abused power.
I'm not suited to too much power or responsibility.
And when I was earning more money than my wife I insisted on my opinion. I don't do that now . Because I earn less.
Power corrupts. Look at Putin. He will do whatever it takes to keep power. He has no morals. Look at the Chinese government. They will do whatever it takes make them look good in the eyes of their people. They admit no wrongdoing.
Jesus in the desert. Such an important verse. Tempted with power. But rejects earthly power.
No one likes to be powerless. But maybe be thankful you don't have much power. It could corrupt you.
