Temptation in the Desert

Genesis 9-11

Luke 4

Jesus is tempted by Satan three different times while he is fasting for 40 days in the desert. The interesting thing to me is that in each case, he responds to temptation by not answering Satan’s question, but getting to the root of what the question is about and countering that. He also gives responses based on scripture, so he’s finding a common source of truth.
