The first way Jesus was tempted was to meet a legitimate need in a way that was disobedient to his Father. The second way Jesus was tempted was to manipulate his Father to act on his behalf instead of cooperating with Him and His plans and purposes.

But hidden behind that curtain of temptation is the question, “who will I worship?”

God does immeasurably more when we generously give Him our first and our best.
God’s heart for lost people is that they are found, so we must be relentless about finding them.
