God wants us to respect the Bible and to read it. Another important thing is to memorize verses from the Bible. The Psalmist called it “hiding Your Word in my heart.” The story that we will learn about this week is how Jesus used His memory of the Bible to deal with Satan during His temptation in the Judean wilderness.
Sometimes we just don’t have time or opportunity to look up a verse in the Bible. That’s one time it’s important that we know it “by heart.” Also, the more of the Bible we know, the easier it is to know what kinds of decisions God would have us make, to please Him and to make the most out of our lives.
It was right at the start of Jesus’ ministry when He was tempted, or tested, by the devil…with three very different temptations that Jesus answered with three verses from the book of Deuteronomy. That wasn’t the last time He was tempted, but perhaps was the most important.
We can deal with temptation to do or think wrong things in the same way that Jesus did, by reading and memorizing God’s Word, the Bible.
Come this Sunday and have fun with us as we learn how Jesus used the Bible to deal with Satan. And please think about bringing a friend with you.
Tom and Sydney Cook
