death;

The Wilderness Test - #1 of 3
Prove Yourself
| Have you ever felt pressured to prove yourself, unnecessarily? |
| Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. -- Matthew 4 verses 5-7 (Kings James Bible) |
The Cost
| The perception that having it all now is worth obtaining at any cost ... where does that come from? |
| Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. -- Matthew 4 verses 8-10 (Kings James Bible) |
