Let’s share together some lessons from God’s word.
Then
Note that when Jesus was baptized, it was to fulfill all righteousness - not just for a ceremonial purification. It is because Jesus was perfectly righteous that He was the unblemished Lamb needed to pay the price for our sins. The use of capitalization by the translators to identify our Lord shows that it was their judgement that John the Baptist saw the heavens opened and the Holy Spirit descend upon Jesus. John heard and understood the voice of God.

Jesus was tempted as we are, but He did not sin. (Hebrews 4:15) He was without food for 40 days and nights. That He was hungry, is an understatement. His human body must have also been weakened physically. Yet, Jesus said that the works He did were the works of His Father. (John 10:32,14:10) Tempted as He must have been to turn stones into bread, He refused to perform miracles at the command of Satan.
The devil used scripture to try to deceive when he told Jesus to cast Himself from the pinnacle of the temple. You can be certain that Satan knows the scriptures, and that he still tries to twist them to cause believers to sin. That is why we must study the whole wisdom of God and submit to the counsel of the Holy Spirit.
Satan is a liar. (John 8:44) He intended to take the kingdoms of the world away, not to give them to Jesus. If the Son of God had worshiped Satan, He would have lost His birthright to rule the kingdoms of the world with an iron scepter as Messiah. He also would have sinned, and then He could not have been our Savior. However, He rebuked Satan and sent him away, and God sent angels to care for Jesus.
There is one Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Because He was faithful to the end and died
for us, we can have eternal life. All
glory and honor be to God whose love knows no bounds.
