Im back! I apologize to everyone that actually looks forward to this game but I had to step away from facebook for a while. Hoping you can forgive 😊 Monday, January 5 The desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life [do] not originate with the Father.—1 John 2:16. John mentioned “the desire of the eyes” as an enticement. The expression suggests that one can begin desiring something by simply looking at it. Note that Satan “showed [Jesus] all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time; and the Devil said to him: ‘I will give you all this authority and the glory of them.’” (Luke 4:5, 6) Jesus would not with his literal eyes see all the kingdoms in an instant, but Satan must have felt that the glory of these kingdoms, as presented in a vision, would hold some attraction for Jesus. Shamelessly, Satan suggested: “If you do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” (Luke 4:7) In no way did Jesus want to be the kind of person Satan wanted him to be. His response was immediate. He said: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”—Luke 4:8. w13 8/15 4:5, 9, 10 Examining the Scriptures—2015 Find more at jw.org 4 words or less, GO!!
