Temptation. In the Christian Bible, Jesus is faced with 3 temptations of the body, mind, and heart at the hands of Satan. Each of these temptations challenges his devotion and faith to the Lord. By walking away from each temptation, Jesus reveals some valuable lessons about faith. We’ll analyzed the 3 temptations of Jesus in this article, explain what they symbolize, and show how they’re significant in Christianity.
Things You Should Know
- The first temptation of Christ, to turn stones to bread, is of the body. Jesus must fight his hunger to obey the Lord’s command.
- The second temptation, to jump off a high building, is of the mind. Jesus refuses to question God’s love and flaunt his power.
- The third temptation, to rule all the kingdoms, is of the heart. Jesus remains loyal to the Lord and refuses to bow down to Satan and rule with him.
