the footsteps of Jesus page 3 by ric gustafson
Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness. Jesus and the devil had a conversation three times. Satan whispered to Jesus to do something he knew he should not do. The first conversation was about food. Food is one of our basic needs. Jesus was hungry. He said no to Satan quoting Deuteronomy 8:3. In their second conversation, Satan invites Jesus to jump off the pinnacle of the Temple. I'm sure Jesus thought about it. He did not jump. The third and final conversation Satan told Jesus he could have more riches than he could ever imagine if he would fall down and worship him. Jesus refused with the words of Matthew 4.
