Lent 2014 day 3 by ric gustafson
Matthew 4:9- ' He said " I'll give you all these if you bow down and worship me".
Satan was tempting Jesus. The first temptation was to feed the world. It was possible for Jesus to end all hunger. The second temptation was for the entire world to see that Jesus was in fact the Christ. How would the world be different if it knew the love of Jesus. The third temptation was that Jesus could rule the world.
Jesus had to reject all three of these temptations so he could defeat sin and death itself. Jesus had to destroy Satan's power. Without these rejections, there would be no salvation to humanity. The goal of Jesus on the cross is the heart and soul of every human being.
We need to thank Jesus for choosing our salvation over his glory.
