Matthew 4

Matthew 4:
I’m completely convicted by this chapter. Satan tempts Jesus with “the lust of the flesh” and “the lust of the eyes”. I would hope that if I were tempted by these things, I would have enough strength to run from them. Then Jesus is tempted by “the pride of life”. I know where my struggles are and even just reading this passage, part of me wishes that Jesus would have thrown Himself down and command the angels to whisk Him away just to rub it in Satan’s face that He was the Son of God. 


It just reminds me that I am such a prideful sinful person in need of a loving Savior.


Thank goodness for the cross.
