Devil In the Desert

Before starting His ministry, even Jesus had to fight against temptation.

Origin
The New Testament; Matthew 4

Story
Jesus had been fasting forty days and nights in the desert. He was alone and hungry. The devil went to Him and tried to tempt Him into turning the stones into bread, but Jesus replied that man does not live on bread alone, but on the Word of God.

Then, the devil took Jesus to the highest point in the Holy City to the highest point. He told Jesus to throw Himself from there for the scriptures said that the angels would save Jesus. But Jesus replied to him that we should not put the Lord to the test.
The devil then tried to promise all the kingdoms of the world to Jesus, as long as He bowed down and worshipped him.

But Jesus rebuked the devil and told him that worship is meant for God alone. The devil then left Jesus, and the angels of the Lord came to attend to Him.

Moral
If you hold fast to the Word of God, then nobody will be able to cause you to stumble.
