Satan told Jesus
that if he was the Son of God that he should turn stones in to bread. It wasn’t wrong for Jesus to turn stones into
bread, but it would have been wrong for him to doubt his status before
God. Jesus did not give in. When we are tempted, we need to remember that
nothing can change our status before God.
He will always love, and Jesus will always intercede for us
2. Satan took Jesus
on top of the temple and told him to jump down because angels will prevent him
from striking his foot on a stone. Satan
quoted Psalm 91. The best way to stop temptation
is to know Scripture, but also know that the enemy knows Scripture and people
who claim to be Christians will always be leading you astray if you don’t know
Scripture better than you do now. Make
time for it. You don’t have time not to.

Satan offered
Jesus all the mountains and the world if he would only worship him. But Jesus already had the world and the
mountains. He’s God. He made them all. When Satan tempts you, remember that you
already have everything you need in Jesus.
So when you are tempted,
remember to not fight in your own strength.
If you want to be violent because, you are angry, stop and pray. If you are tempted to steal something,
remember you have all you need. God will
fight your battle. Jesus will intercede
for his elect, you need to know Scripture, and you already have all you need.
