(Matthew
4:2-11)
Then
Jesus was led by the Spirit into the Desert
TO
BE TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL.
2
After Fasting forty days and forty nights,
He
was hungry.
3
The Tempter came to Him and said,
'If
you are the Son of God,
Tell
these stones to become bread.'
4
Jesus answered,
'It
is written:
MAN
DOES NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE,
BUT
BY EVERY WORD
THAT
COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.'
5
Then the Devil took Him to the Holy City
And
had Him stand on the highest point of the Temple.
6
'If you are the Son of God,'
He
said, 'throw yourself down.
For
it is written:
'He
will command His angels concerning you,
And
they will lift you up in their hands,
So
that You will not strike your foot against a stone.'
7
Jesus answered him,
'It
is also written:
'DO
NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'
8
Again, the Devil took Him to a very high mountain
AND
SHOWED HIM ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD
AND
THEIR SPLENDOR.
9
'ALL THIS I WILL GIVE YOU,'
He
said, 'If you will Bow Down and worship me.'
10
Jesus answered him,
'Away
from Me, Satan!
For
it is written:
'WORSHIP
THE LORD YOUR GOD
AND
SERVE HIM ONLY.'
11
Then the devil left Him,
And
angels came and attended Him.
(Matthew
4:2-11)
How
do we live as Christians?
By
every Word that comes from the mouth of God.
Who
can give away All the kingdoms of this World?
Satan
who controls them all.
(1
John 5:19)
