Numbers 12 & 13, Luke 3: 23-38, Luke 4: 1-13, Psalm 48: 1-8
Luke 4: 3-4 (ESV)
“The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command
this stone to become bread.” And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall
not live by bread alone.’”
In verses 3 and 4 from Luke 4, the Devil tempted Jesus to
make stone into bread. Jesus had fasted while he was in the desert and was
hungry. Jesus answered the Devil with a verse from the Old Testament, with
Deuteronomy 8: 3. Jesus was tempted two (2) more times by the Devil and each
time he answered the Devil with two more verses from Deuteronomy. Christ gave
us the perfect example of how to battle temptation by knowing the Bible verses
by heart and using them when we are facing temptation. The Bible has every
answer to any temptation that we face. We might not know them by heart, but we
can research which Bible verses to use when we are facing temptation.
