After that the devil brought him into the holy city and stood him at the highest point of the temple. He said to him, “Since you are God’s Son, throw yourself down; for it is written, I will command my angels concerning you, and they will take you up in their hands so that you won’t hit your foot on a stone.”
Then the devil brought him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. He said, “I’ll give you all these if you bow down and worship me.”
As you imagine Jesus being tempted with the physical desires of hunger, with the emotional desire for immortality, and the base desire for power, consider what you are tempted by. What do these temptations teach you about yourself? How do you strengthen yourself to avoid them?
