In the reading, Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus is tempted: (1) to turn stone to bread,(2) to have God save Him from falling and (3) to worship Satan. Jesus rejects all of these temptations strongly. He also quotes the scriptures each time. What did you learn from this reading? Personally, I learned that it is good to know the Bible (the scriptures) in difficult times when I am being tempted. The wisdom of the Bible can help us overcome temptation. Also, Jesus did not need to prove he is the Son of God. The Father declared (announced) that Jesus is the Son of God at His baptism. God also said that He loves Jesus and is pleased with Jesus. So Jesus has nothing to prove. Neither do we. God loves us. We are his children if we believe in God. We don’t resist temptation to prove that we are God’s children. We resist temptation (with the help of Jesus) because of our love for God. There are so many things we can learn from this passage. I would love to know what you learned! You can share that in your comments. You can also give a rating of this podcast. Any feedback or comments you give would be very helpful to this podcast. Thank you so much for listening! David Gray
