Jesus Fights Temptation

Right after Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit led Him into the desert. For FORTY days, Jesus didn't eat anything. He was very, very hungry.

Then Satan showed up to try to trick Jesus.

Temptation #1: Satan said, 'If You're really God's Son, turn these stones into bread!'

Jesus was SO hungry. But He answered with a Bible verse: 'The Scripture says people don't live by bread alone, but by every word from God!'

Temptation #2: Satan took Jesus to the top of the temple—way up high! 'If You're God's Son, jump! The Bible says angels will catch You!'

Jesus answered with another verse: 'It also says don't test the Lord your God!'

Temptation #3: Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world. 'I'll give You ALL of this—if You just bow down and worship me!'

Jesus said, 'Get away from Me, Satan! The Scripture says worship ONLY God!'

Satan gave up and left. Angels came to take care of Jesus.

Jesus won! He beat every temptation by using God's Word!

Here's the cool part: when YOU are tempted to do wrong, you can do the same thing! Learn Bible verses. When you're tempted, remember what God says. His Word is like a sword that fights off the enemy!
