Jesus defeated the devil(Matthew 4:10)
As soon as Jesus was baptized by John, Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness and stayed forty days and nights.
For 40days, Jesus didn't eat there. If people do not eat during 40days anything, it is very hard. Almost die to hungry. Right?
And at that time, the devil came to Jesus and tempted Jesus to sin.
After 40days, Jesus would be very hungry and exhausted. The devil tempted Jesus, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.”
Did not Jesus have ability to turn stones into bread? No..
Jesus can do everything because He is God. But Jesus wanted to do only what God wanted.
But the devil is now tempting Jesus to obey him, not God.
So Jesus used the Word of God to bit the devil.
Jesus said, “It is written, that man did not live by bread alone.” It means that obeying God is more important than eating food.
But the devil did not give up.
To make Jesus his servant, the devil took Jesus to the high temple in Jerusalem.
Satan said, “if you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. It is written, ‘God will command His angels for you to keep you,’ and they will bold you with their hands, and will not strike your feet against the stone.’”
But Jesus knew that it is wrong for God to prove Himself. So Jesus told the devil, “it is also written, do not put the Lord your God to the test”, and bit the satan
But the satan didn't give up.
So he took Jesus to a very high mountain where the cities of the world could be seen.
And he said, “if you bow down and worship me, I will give you all these things.”
Jesus is the Son of God.
Jesus already rules this world and is the master of this word. But the devil tried to deceive Jesus that he is the master of world. But no…
Jesus said to devil , “Get away from me, Satan, for it is written, worship the Lord your God, and sere Him only.”
Jesus did not succumb to the temptation of the devil through the word of God, but he bit the temptation.
