Satan told him to turn the stones into bread so that he could eat, but Jesus told Satan that man shall not live by bread alone but by the word of God. The devil took Jesus into the holy city, set him upon the temple and told him to cast himself down and the angels would bear him up. Jesus told Satan not to tempt the Lord God. The devil took Jesus into a high mountain and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world and told him that he'd give them to him if he would worship him. Jesus told Satan that we should worship God only. The devil left Jesus and the angels came and ministered unto him. When we are tempted by Satan we must remember to obey and follow God's rules. We are to worship God and not obey Satan. Father God, we know to worship and obey You. Thank You that we do not have to fear and obey Satan. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
