Satan wanted Jesus to turn stones into bread, since Jesus was fasting. Jesus reminded Satan that man does not live by bread alone. The point was, you must feed your soul as well as your body, and if you have to pick, you save your immortal soul.
I was so tempted by the chocolate cake, but I was on a diet so I just had a piece of fruit.The Devil tempted Jesus again, 'Are you sure you're not hungry?' he said.Well I am tempted by the new computer but I'm going to take some convincing.
The devil tempted Adam, not Jesus, to eat the apple in Genesis.
The devil tempted Jesus three times while he was in the desert for forty days. First, he tempted Jesus to make bread from stone. Second, Jesus was tempted to jump from a cliff so angels could catch him. Finally, he was tempted to worship the devil.
When Jesus is tempted by Satan three times, Jesus rebuffs those attacks and the devil leaves him.
Mat 4:1Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Matthew
LENT
Jesus was with the disciples for a short time, then went into the wilderness for forty days where he was tempted by the devil.
To test both his word( scripture ) and his resolve( to not sin )!
Matthew 4:1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
1) Satan said to Jesus, who was fasting, if you are hungry, turn the bread into stones. Jesus said man does not live by bread alone, but, by every word that comes from God. 2) Satan said to Jesus, why not throw yourself off a cliff and see if the angels will catch you? Jesus said not to put God to the test and force God to save you. 3) Satan then said that if Jesus were to worship him (the devil), then the devil would give all the kingdoms on Earth to rule. Jesus said, thou shall worship the Lord God, and no other than the Lord God. With that, the devil, Satan, departed. Jesus refused to do what the devil said, and the devil gave up trying to tempt Jesus.
Jesus actually was tempted, when he was living on this earth. It says in Matthew 4:1- Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. Jesus had been fasting in the desert for 40 days, then the devil came to him and said If you are really Jesus than turn those stones into bread. Jesus replied saying man shall not live on bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of the father. The devil tempts Him in other ways and still Jesus resisted it. Some people might say well if Jesus was tempted than he sinned and if he sinned then he couldn't be God. Being tempted isn't a sin, it's what you do with that temptation that makes it wrong.
