What really happened when the Devil tempted Jesus?
In Luke 4 we read about three temptations of Jesus. From this story, we learn important lessons on how to deal with temptation as Jesus did. The kind of spiritual warfare that Jesus had with the devil teaches us how to deal with sin in our own lives; in particular greed, pride, and the lust for power and popularity. Jesus was tempted with these things while after he had been fasting for 40 days. How inspiring to see Jesus at a physically weak point in His life here on earth totally foil the Devil's plot to overtake Him. Can we learn from Him so we can do the same when the Devil tries to do the same to us. It's amazing how the devil's tricks have not changed much over the centuries. Watch this video to see the temptations of Jesus explained in a way that is relevant to all Christians who are serious about following the teachings of Jesus. Resist the Devil and he will flee (James 4:7).
