Luke 4:1-13 (CSB)
1 Then Jesus left the Jordan, full of the Holy Spirit, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
2 for forty days to be tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over, he was hungry.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
4 But Jesus answered him, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone.”
5 So he took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 The devil said to him, “I will give you their splendor and all this authority, because it has been given over to me, and I can give it to anyone I want.
7 If you, then, will worship me, all will be yours.”
8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”
9 So he took him to Jerusalem, had him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here.
10 For it is written: He will give his angels orders concerning you, to protect you,
11 and they will support you with their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”
12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said: Do not test the Lord your God.”
13 After the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time.

TRUTHS ABOUT TEMPTATION

IS TEMPTED

1 Corinthians 10:12-13
12 So, whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to fall.
13 No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation he will also provide a way out so that you may be able to bear it.

TEMPTATION CAN COME AT

Hebrews 4:15
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin.

1 John 2:16
16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one’s possessions—is not from the Father, but is from the world.

Matthew 6:33
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

Deuteronomy 8:18
18 but remember that the LORD your God gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm his covenant he swore to your fathers, as it is today.

1 Timothy 6:10
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
