What does it mean that Jesus was tempted in every way, and what does that mean to us?
Episode Notes
[1] Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
[2] being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
[3] And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
[4] But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.' "
[5] Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. [6] And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for [this] has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. [7] "Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours."
[8] And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.' "
[9] Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. [10] "For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,' [11] "and, 'In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.' "
[12] And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.' "
[13] Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time. - Luke 4:1-13 NKJV
