Luke 4:2 “being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.”
Adam and Eve were tempted once, and that is all it took for the devil’s schemes. Jesus endures here forty days of the devil doing his worst. Forty days without food is the maximum for even the hardiest of human beings. The devil still found occasion to tempt the Lord Jesus. Having failed through the forty days, he would not give up. But he had more than met his match in Christ. Shortly, this chance for him would come to an end.
Heavenly Father, we praise You for Jesus! Thank You so much for Him! He is our Lord, our Savior, our Master. Never shall we ever be able to praise You enough for Him. It is for His sake that we live and breathe and serve You every day. It is for His sake that we are persecuted, yet endure with joy. It is for His sake that the new world You shall make will be so wonderful. He is worthy! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
