Know Who You Are in God

Matthew 4

Inspired thots

This chapter on the temptation of Jesus is the prelude to Jesus' successful ministry. Trials and temptations will come prior to any ministry and the way to overcome them is to be affirmed in your position in God. 

The devil started the first two temptations with "If you are the Son of God,..."; this implies an attempt to cause doubt about who Jesus is to God. If Jesus were to succumb to the temptations, it is an indication that He has to prove His position in God. But a sure knowledge of position needs no testing or proofs; it is obvious at all times. There is always peace and tranquility without showing off to others.
