why Satan wanted Jesus to jump from the
:
top of the temple if you are the Son of
:
God throw yourself off of here for it is
:
written he shall give his Angel charge
:
over
:
you and in their hands they shall bear
:
you
:
up lest you dash your foot against a
:
stone again it is written you shall not
:
tempt the Lord your
:
God in the Hebrew Bible Satan is
:
referred to as ha Satan the adversary
:
who serves as an accuser or tester in
:
God’s
:
Court he is a fallen angel who rebelled
:
against God and became the embodiment of
:
evil tempting Believers and opposing
:
God’s will at every opportunity so it
:
was not a surprise when Satan confronted
:
Jesus as reported in Matthew for the
:
purpose of tempting and separating him
:
from the connection with his
:
father after Jesus have fasted for
:
days and nights he was hungry and
:
physically exhausted then Satan appeared
:
to tempt Jesus at his presumably
:
physically weakest State however
:
physical exhaustion is not the same as
:
spiritual weakness in fact Jesus was
:
probably at his most spiritually
:
elevated state in human form as the time
:
of the Temptation because he had just
:
gone through more than weeks of
:
fasting and constant communion with God
:
in the
:
wilderness Satan wanted to catch Jesus
:
at his weakest point but found him as
:
always at his default state of
:
spiritually optimal strength Faith
:
humility and
:
love Satan employed three strategies in
:
his attempt to tempt and derail Jesus’s
:
plan
:
[Music]
:
first Satan approached and said to Jesus
:
if you are the Son of God command that
:
these stones to become loaves of
:
bread but Jesus knowing the trick of the
:
deceiver said in reply it is written one
:
does not live on bread alone but on
:
every word that comes forth from the
:
mouth of
:
God when Satan failed in this first Ploy
:
he took Jesus to the holy C
:
and made him stand on the top parapet of
:
the temple and said to him if you are
:
the Son of God throw yourself down for
:
it is written he will command his angels
:
concerning you and with their hands they
:
will support you lest you dash your foot
:
against a
:
stone Jesus answered him saying again it
:
is written you shall not put the Lord
:
your God to the
:
test what is the point of this
:
temptation what purpose would Jesus
:
jumping from the height of the temple
:
serve for Satan why did Satan want Jesus
:
to prove himself as the Son of God by
:
jumping the story of Satan tempting
:
Jesus to jump from the top of the temple
:
comes from the gospel of Matthew :
:
to this temptation is meant to test
:
Jesus faith and obedience to God it is
:
an attempt to manipulate Jesus into
:
testing God’s
:
protection Satan quotes scripture and
:
tells Jesus that if he is the Son of God
:
he should throw himself down because it
:
is written he will command his angels
:
concerning you and they will lift you up
:
in their hands so that you will not
:
strike your foot against a stone Matthew
:
: quoting from Psalm :
:
to however Jesus responds to this
:
temptation by quoting another scripture
:
saying it is also written do not put the
:
Lord your God to the test Matthew :
:
referring to Deuteronomy
:
: in other words Jesus rejects the
:
idea of putting God to the test by
:
deliberately engaging in a dangerous act
:
to see if God will rescue him instead he
:
reaffirms his trust and obedience to
:
God this story demonstrates Jesus
:
unwavering faith and his refusal to
:
succumb to Temptation even when
:
presented with the opportunity to
:
perform a spectacular miracle
:
the story has several important lessons
:
and messages for us as Christians one we
:
should trust in God’s plan and timing
:
Jesus response to Satan’s Temptation
:
demonstrates his unwavering faith in
:
God’s protection and guidance it teaches
:
us that we should not test or manipulate
:
God to prove his existence or power
:
instead we should trust in him and his
:
plan for our lives and not use our
:
relationship with him to fulfill
:
unwarranted personal desires or
:
demonstrate power for power’s
:
sake two we should resist temptation
:
jamus : says resist the devil and he
:
will flee from you Jesus rejection of
:
Satan’s Temptation serves as a model for
:
resisting temptation in our own lives it
:
shows that even in difficult
:
circumstances we should remain faithful
:
to our beliefs and values resisting The
:
Lure of immediate gratification or
:
worldly
:
power three
:
we should rely on the scripture for
:
guidance the word of God is a lamp unto
:
our feet and a light unto our path Psalm
:
ver
:
it is a sure Foundation that we can
:
build our lives upon Timothy :
:
Jesus responds to Satan’s temptations by
:
quoting scripture this highlights the
:
importance of knowing and using God’s
:
word as a source of guidance and
:
strength when faced with challeng Alles
:
and
:
temptations four we should avoid
:
self-exaltation
:
for those who exalt themselves will be
:
humbled and those who humble themselves
:
will be exalted Matthew
:
: the story cautions against seeking
:
self-exaltation or using one’s
:
relationship with God to gain personal
:
recognition or exert unnecessary power
:
it reminds us that Faith should not be
:
used as a means to achieve worldly
:
Ambitions but as a path to a deeper
:
relationship with
:
God why would Satan ask Jesus to jump
:
over the Pinnacle of the temple to test
:
his power of resistance undercut his
:
faith in God’s plan test his
:
understanding of the scriptures incite
:
his sense of self-exaltation
:
he wanted to stop Jesus mission to
:
redeem hum kind most importantly Satan
:
wanted to instigate the dangerous sin of
:
pride in Jesus as this was the same sin
:
that got Satan thrown out from the
:
presence of the almighty
