[My awesome, loving and wonderful Grandchildren, and Annika and Kaleigh, whom I love and pray for every day: “…Jesus was LED BY THE SPIRIT into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.“ (Matt. 4:1)
[Jesus now goes into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil, but the devil is puzzled in his tempting of Jesus, because He uses THE WORD OF GOD as His VERY POWERFUL WEAPON; and our Lord Jesus comes away as a Conqueror, and so secures not only comfort, but victory, to all his faithful followers!]
“Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “ALL THIS I WILL GIVE YOU,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” (Matt. 4:8-10)
[Isn’t that why Jesus came? NO! He came to seek and save the lost…So, you see who the devil is:]
“The god OF THIS WORLD has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” (2 Corin. 4:4)
[The devil had the authority to make the offer to Jesus “All this I will give you IF…]
“Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and SERVE HIM ONLY.'” Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him [Jesus].” (Matt. 4:10-11)
[Just BE FAITHFUL, we must stand and endure whatever comes our way because the Lord God Almighty is ALWAYS HERE TO HELP US THROUGH!]
WE HAVE THE POWER TO WORSHIP THE LORD OUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY!
Notice: […We must understand that the bible says:] “From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”!!!] That’s for you: Stephanie, Ethan, Camden, Olivia, Aidan, Landon, Kinsley, Annika and Kaleigh
