Discussion Questions:
Why didn't Jesus make the bread/ reason he gives?
What is significant
about Satan's use of scripture? Matthew 7:15
What do you think of
Jesus' second response?
What is Satan offering
in the third temptation?
What is Jesus'
response--the first commandment
Summary thoughts:
Jesus choose the path
of humility. This path is shown by
serving rather than being served.
Ultimately the temptation shows that Jesus is following the path toward
the cross rather than go after the temptations this world offers. This is a reminder to follow the path of
faith and humility rather than follow the path the world offers. Matthew 7: 13 says "Enter by the narrow
gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and
those who enter by it are many. For the
gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are
few.
