2 | what is happening with jesus and the dev | Luke | Searcher56 | 36176 | ||
Scripture ... Luke 4:1-13; Mat 4:1-11; Mar 1:12-13; Gen 3:1-8 (vs 6); Heb 2:18, 4:15 ... 3sunshine, greetings. I presume you mean chapter 4. When looking at a passage it is important yo look at the context. His temptation is recorded two other places (Mat 4:1-11; Mar 1:12-13). Satan was trying to tempt Jesus, the way he tempted Eve. The bread was good for food. It would of been pleasing to the eye, if people saw Him caught in midair. Satan tempted Eve in gaining wisdom and Jesus in gaining the world. Satan lost because Jesus used Scripture, even when Satan twisted it. Satan wanted to be in control, but Jesus remianed in control. It is great to know that He never yielded to temptation as an example to us. This is one way to look at this passage. I hope it helps. Searcher |
