The Temptation of Jesus
4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be

tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty

nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written,

“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,

but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 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 “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot

against a stone.’”

7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain

and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,

“‘You shall worship the Lord your God

and him only shall you serve.’”

11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministeringto him.

Matthew 4:1-11

Our Lord Jesus Christ being fully man and fully God made every effort to overcome our enemy, satan. We can trust our Lord Jesus Christ for our identity, authority, and grace to ourselves make every effort to rest in His righteousness. And from this position of resting in our Lord Jesus Christ, we choose obedience, worshipping, and serving only Him.

Since our Lord Jesus Christ made every effort for us, it is in us to make every effort in 2022!!!
