Abstract
In a memorable section of the New Testament, Jesus endures a series of trials and temptations from the devil (Matthew 4:1-11).
Jesus is tempted to turn rocks to bread, the temptation to use His power for personal fulfillment.
Jesus is tempted to worship satan, the ultimate lie of a grand bargain that you can obtain the world by losing your soul.
And Jesus is tempted to jump from the pinnacle of the temple and be saved by angels, the temptation to use His power for fame.
