17. For your further observation Worship God alone… Don’t betray God to pursue your personal ambition. Do not tempt the Lord… Don’t presume God will save you when you endanger yourself by doing foolish stunts. Not by bread, but word… You need God’s Word, not just material food, to live with dignity as children of God Voice of God Worship me (devil) (power) Satisfy your craving for power. You can’t make people follow you if you don’t control the army. Throw yourself down (prestige) Satisfy your craving to be popular (vanity). You need a name for people to follow you. Stone into bread (wealth) Satisfy your craving for material things. You need them for your campaign. Voice of the Devil (prioritize yourself, your needs) High mountains Vantage point (few people) Holy City = Jerusalem Place of worship (many people) Desert No man’s land (alone) Location 3 rd temptation 2 nd temptation If you are the son of God 1 st temptation If you are the son of God
