Faith on Film: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) - Temptation: Make the Devil Flee
In the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, impoverished Charlie wins a tour of the strange and wondrous chocolate factory of Willy Wonka, contending for the top prize. A shady man named Slugworth approaches and offers a hefty payment in exchange for an Everlasting Gobstopper. After disqualifying from the top prize, Charlie proves his worthiness by returning the Gobstopper, showing he would rather walk away with nothing than betray Wonka.
Each of us face temptation, but we must be able to resist it, as Jesus did after the 40 days of fasting following His baptism. It is the Spirit can give us the power to resist.
