Matthew 4:1-11 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 and when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards He was hungry. 3 Now the tempter came to Him, and said,If You are the Son of God, command that these stones be bread. 4 But He answered and said,It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: he shall give His angels charge over you, and In their hands they shall bear you up Lest you dash your foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said to him,It is written again, You should not tempt The Lord your God. 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdom of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me. 10 Then Jesus said to him,Away with you, Satan! For it is written, You shall worship The Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve. 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministers to Him. FBF...the devils temptations focused on three crucial areas: (1) physical needs and desires, (2) possessions and power, and (3) pride ( see 1John 2:15,16 for a similar list ). But Jesus did not give in. Hebrews 4:15 says that Jesus was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. He knows firsthand what we are experiencing, and he is willing to help us in our struggles. When you are tempted, turn to him for strength. God Bless and have a Blessed day in The Lord :)
