Jesus Was Tempted

Everyone is tempted to do wrong things. Jesus was no different…immediately after His baptism, the Holy Spirit led Him into the Judean desert where He fasted for 40 days, in preparation for beginning His ministry.

After 40 days with no food, Satan appeared to tempt Jesus. Three temptations are recorded, dealing with physical needs (“Command these stones to become bread.” ), with taking the easy road in His ministry (“Cast yourself down from the temple so all can see God saving you.” ), and running ahead of God’s timing (“I can give you all the world if you fall down and worhsip me.” )

Each time Jesus turned down the temptation, each time quoting scripture from the book of Deuteronomy. Then Satan left Him for a time.

Jesus knew what it was to be tempted, and He knew the best way to overcome temptation—by knowing the scripture and knowing how to use it.

Join us this week as we learn more about how to use the Bible to deal with issues that children might face in their lives today. Bring along a friend!
