The Temptation of Jesus
1. Who led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil? vs. 1
2. How long was He there fasting in the wilderness before He became hungry and able to tempt? vs. 2
3. The tempter came to Him in his hunger and tried to cause Him to doubt His relationship to the Father. "If You are the Son of God ....." What did the tempter tell Him He could do to satisfy His hunger? vs. 3
4. How did Jesus resist the temptation? vs. 4
5. The devil then took Jesus into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple. Once again he tried to cause Him to doubt His relationship to the Father. "If You are the Son of God...." What did the devil say He could do and still be safe? What did the devil 'use' on Jesus as a deceptive tool? vs. 6
6. How did Jesus resist this temptation? vs. 7
7. Again, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. The devil offered all these to Him if He would only fall down and worship him. Do you think the devil can give you things of the world for such an exchange? If you know Scripture to back your answer, please give it and type it out.
8. How did Jesus resist this temptation? vs. 9
9. Finally the devil left Him. Who came along to minister to Him at that time? vs. 11
Application:
Do you know the Word of God well enough to battle the temptations you face from the tempter? Has he ever caused you to doubt your relationship to the Father by making you think the Father didn't care for your basic needs? How did you handle it? How would you like to handle it each time? What must you do to get ready?
