Editor's Notes
- Matthew 4 1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
- Lord’s Prayer – Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
- James 1 12Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
- 13Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
- πειράζω peirádzō Tempt; trial; test
- Jesus’ First Temptation Instant Gratification
- “In this day and age of soundbytes and instant gratification, we often forget the value of spending time doing something of value. We live in a world in which a YouTube video longer than 5 min is considered too long. We live in a world in which ideas that are supposed to change the world are given a maximum time of 18 minutes to share. There is a reason a home cooked meal has greater value than fast food...and it’s not just because of the ingredients. It’s because a meal cooked at home is slow. It has to be. We can’t make something with love in a microwave. The process is slow. Slow is what allows us to learn. Slow is what allows us to trust. Slow is what allows us to feel love for each other. The problem with slow is it requires time. And that’s exactly why it’s so powerful. It is the single highest gift we can give to someone, to give them our time. To offer hours, days, weeks, months or more knowing full well that any time we spend we will not get back, ever. Time is a non-refundable commodity. Once it’s spent, it’s gone. Time, more than money, has real, lasting value. Anything slow, by definition, takes time...and that's exactly what makes it special.

- Matthew 4 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” “You shall not put the LORD your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah.” (Deut. 6:16) Context of Deut. 6 – Israel grumbled against Moses and God because of thirst in the wilderness of Zin. This is the occasion where God told Moses to strike a rock with his staff, and God brought water out of the stone. The place was named Massah, which means test because Israel put God to the test.
