Jesus Tempted in the wilderness

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness

Matthew 4: 11

 1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.
6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

   “‘He will command his angels concerning you,
   and they will lift you up in their hands,
   so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”
 7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
 10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”
 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:15-17)

 

 Genesis 3:6

6.When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

Satan /Devil used 1. the lust of the flesh, 2.the lust of the eyes, and 3. the pride of life on Eve and adam

Again Satan /Devil used 1. the lust of the flesh, 2.the lust of the eyes, and 3. the pride of life on Jesus in the wilderness

here’s how –>

1. The lust of the flesh: 

Jesus was hungry after 40 days and nights of fasting …
verse 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
verse4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
When are body is hungry its easy to yield … so Lust of the flesh is an easy attack for the devil .

2.The lust of the eyes :

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
 10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”

 

3. The pride of life :

verse5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.
6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

   “‘He will command his angels concerning you,
   and they will lift you up in their hands,
   so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”
 7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

Extraordinary Gold Plated Stuff

Who exactly uses any of these items below is a major question ????
This is purely obsession with Gold .
Golden Toilet
World’s priciest toilet is located in Hong Kong. Built in 2001, the entire washroom required 380 kg of pure gold and 6,200 gemstones. Even the fixtures are made of gold. It costed HK $38 million and is now worth HK $80 million.

Gold-plated Dildo

We’re not sure what purpose there is in this $1500 gold plated Elo Vya vibrator other than to give you heavy metal poisoning, but here it is. The 18k gold plated vibrator will satisfy women (and men), but also passes its AU into your porous areas. Which can’t be good at all. But hey, it’s now on sale for $999. Score!


Edible Gold Dessert

A posh restaurant in New York makes a $26,135 dessert, the world’s most expensive one. Stephen Bruce, owner of Serendipity 3 in Manhattan’s Upper East side, said pudding called the Frrrozen Haute Chocolate, is concocted using a blend of 28 rare, exotic cocoas before being topped with whipped cream, and sprinkled with 23-carat edible gold dust and a La Madeline au Truffle.
Along with the treat, the eater gets to take home the goblet it is served upon, the diamond encrusted 18 carat gold spoon used to eat it and a gold ladies’ bracelet.

Gold-Plated Pram

This gold-plated pram, which boasts a fitted sound system and satin interior, was sold at Harrods for a staggering £6,000. Described as “the ultimate in “baby bling”, the converted Silver Cross Silver Shadow is dripping in £4,000-worth of 24-carat gold, which covers every panel as well as its wheels and spokes. The show-stopping pram was created by Graham Richardson and Alison Murfet, who run a pram-restoring business in Holbeach, Lincolnshire.

This jazzed Porsche 911 is from Russia. Covered with 40 pounds of pure gold, it was designed by Visualis, in 22 carat beaten gold. All the major components, from the control elements such as the steering wheel and doorknobs to the car body and alloy rims are covered with gold.

Golden PC Case

Tokyo-based Zeus Computer is reaching out to deep-pocketed celebrities and thenouveau riche with a line of luxury personal computers housed in bejeweled cases. It is yellow because it is made of solid gold and those sparkling white lights are nothing else but the encrusted diamonds. This is Mars, world’s most expensive PC case! It costs only $570,000! They also have a Platinum version.

Golden Keyboard


t is insanely strange taste to cover a keyboard with a pure gold, but that’s exactly what Wazakura Koubou has made. While it might look expensive, you can actually get one for only 28.875 Yen, about US$271

Gold Pills


Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid created the “Gold Pill”, dipped in gold and filled with 24-karat gold leaf. You’re supposed to eat it “to increase your self-worth.” That would be funny if it didn’t cost $425 for the joke.

Gold-plated Nintendo Wii


Presented to the Queen by THQ in a publicity stunt to promote the release of the Big Family Games Wii software title, this gold plated Nintendo Wii, was delivered to Buckingham Palace with the aforementioned game.

Golden Bra


Launched by Korea’s Golden Zone at a fashion show in Seoul, this brassiere costs more than a million (1.89 million to be precise) but you may end up paying a lot more in comfort (and style!). Decorated with encrusted diamonds and loops of liquid gold, not only is this garment unattractive, but I imagine wearing it must hurt

Golden Bike

This crystal and gold bike was created by a company named Aurumania, whose self-proclaimed purpose is to conceive of and design items with the extravagant use of gold, thereby turning familiar objects into collectible art. In this case, a $102,418.60 piece of art. Each bike is hand built, plated with 24 carat gold and hand-adorned with more than 600 Swarovski crystals.

Glass Cellphone


Glass Cellphone Concept

This glass cellphone concept dubbed “Glassy Glassy” is designed by Mac Funamizu.
Such a gorgeous concept. I like the minimalist approach of its design. Unfortunately this glass cellphone is extremely prone to fingerprints. So you need to wipe it clean more often.
I would like to have one of these. So hopefully this concept will become a reality in the near future.
