    Testing and temptation: Jesus’s encounter with the Devil was a shadow of the cross in the wilderness.

    We just heard the reading from Matthew 4. When Matthew wrote his book, he had no idea that there was going to be a chapter break right at that point of his book.

    When assaulted by Satan, Jesus refuted him with the Word of God. He knows, believes and applies the Word. "It is written" is very important. Can we say that today?

    There is a war going on in the wilderness. • Satan is out to tempt Jesus and stop him from doing God’s will. • Jesus defends himself with the only weapon He has – God’s Word. • Three times He responded, “It is written.” Satan is out to deceive, to lure man into doing things contrary to God’s ...read more
