What good was God if Jesus died of hunger?ĭon’t we many times look at those who have partnered with the devil and who have become wealthy and wonder just where God’s measure of justice is? If living for God is not a productive venture then why engage in it? Why not instead serve the devil who rewards in this life?Īt this point Jesus had had enough. Forty days without food would leave a body in severe malaise and very anemic. I wonder how much oxygen Jesus’ brain was getting. The world is in Satan’s grasp and He could have handed it on a silver platter to Jesus.All Jesus would have had to do is to serve Satan. He then led Jesus up on a mountain and showed Him the glory of the world. Jesus was wise enough to know that God’s power is not to be misused. Not so much, because in that act He would have been obeying Satan and not God. ![]() He surely didn’t have much strength to stand upright.įurthermore if Jesus took a jump or fell then He would have been caught by God and God would have been given the glory right? I wonder if after forty days of not eating and standing on a pinnacle if the knees of Jesus trembled and if He felt faint? It would have been understandable if he would have stumbled and fallen off of the pinnacle or even jumped. Satan then tempted Him to do something foolish, jump off a pinnacle. ![]() Satan tempted Him with food and Jesus refused, stating that God’s word was sustenance enough for Him. He gave Manna to the Israelites but He didn’t give a crumb to His own son. God could have slipped him some food but He didn’t. How else could Jesus understand how it was to be fully human if he was not tempted as we are in our weaknesses? ![]() In Mark the Bible states that the Spirit of God drove him into the wilderness. Right after Jesus was baptized he encountered the temptation of the devil.Īs I continued on in my reading I was disturbed by something. In Matthew, the New King James version says He was led by the Spirit of God into the wilderness. This verse is the one where God states that Jesus is His beloved Son, in whom He is pleased. Recently I have been discussing my favorite Bible verse.
