#3 SON OF GOD

40 DAYS WITH JESUS

#3  SON OF GOD "And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil.  And He ate nothing during those days.  And when they were ended, He was hungry.  The devil said to him, "If you are the SON OF GOD, command this stone to become bread.  And Jesus answered him "It is written, man shall not live by bread alone."  And the devil took him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, and said to Him, "To You I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.  If You, then, will worship me, it will all be Yours."  And Jesus answered him, "It is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve."  And he took Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to Him, "If You are the SON OF GOD, throw yourself down from here, for it is written, "He will command his angels concerning You, to guard you and on their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone."  And Jesus answered him,"It is said, You shall not put the Lord your God to the test."  And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time."  Luke 4:1-13

DEFINITION OF SON - : a male child   : the Son - the second person of the Trinity  : Jesus Christ

DEFINITION OF TEMPTED   : to entice to do wrong by promise of pleasure or gain

 Jesus, You are the SON OF GOD!  Satan tried to tempt You to receive power, not by obeying God perfectly, but by agreeing to do what Satan (who is a liar and the father of lies"!  John 8:44) was TEMPTING You to do.  You chose to answer "It is written..." and to completely obey God - even though it meant the path to the cross.    I am tempted to go the easy path - to not fully obey - but this is not what You did!  Jesus, You chose to walk the path of absolute holiness, and suffering - to the cross. (Hebrews 4:15)  You are the One who never sinned - the SON OF GOD!  I worship You Jesus!!

(When are you tempted to take the "easy path" of disobedience?  Worship Jesus today, the SON OF GOD - who obeyed perfectly!!)#40dayswithjesus
