vs 1. Jesus is full and led by the Holy Spirit.
vs 2-13 Jesus was tempted by the Devil. In each and every response Jesus gave was the answer of scripture.
Many times we are going through life and fall into temptation because we are not prepared for what we would do if this were to happen. Sure at times it is easy to say no. But what if we receive pressure from some of the people closest to us. How will we get through these times if we are not in the word and do not know what we believe. We need to have an answer for why. One of the most interesting things is Jesus had not eaten during these 40 days of temptation. I know when I have not eaten for 4 hours I start to get weak and temperamental. I have a lack of energy and become tired. When I become tired I make stupid decisions that I would not normally make when I am myself. So what do I do? I do not allow myself to get in situations like that. When I am hungry, I eat. When I am tired, I sleep. I do not have deep conversations when I am tired because I know I might say something I regret.
vs 14-15 Jesus had the power of the Spirit.
vs 16-19 Jesus taught about the prediction of Christ and talked as if it were him.
vs 20-27 People were angered and ready to throw Christ of a cliff for heresy. But He walked away and continued to quote more scripture and talk about other stories in scripture.
vs 32, 36-37 Jesus message had authority
vs 33-35 Jesus drove out an evil spirit.
vs 38-41 Jesus healed many.
vs 42-44 said He came to preach the good news of the kingdom of God.
I hope you continue in this process of reading scripture. Jesus was able to avoid falling into temptation because his values came straight from the heart of God and He aligned his heart to what was written in scripture.
