Stories of Jesus

When Jesus was about 30 years old, he had a battle with the devil. It wasn't the sort of battle where he needed to use his fists though. It was another kind of battle. It all started when Jesus was in the desert. He wanted to make sure he could control his appetite, so he stopped eating food for forty days. That's nearly seven weeks! You can bet he was hungry by the end of his trial, but then, just as he was about to finish the test, the divil came along and asked him three questions.

The fist question was aimed at making Jesus give up his decision not to eat.

"Turn these stones into bread" said the devil.

Jesus refused to make food for himself, so the devil tried something else. He took Jesus to a very high place.

"Throw yourself off!" said the devil, "You don't need to worry about hurting yourself - the angels will catch you!"

Jesus refused to throw himself off the wall. He knew that it was a foolish though it might have been fun.

THe divil tried one more test. He showed a sort of movie to Jesus, of all the money and power, and fancy clothes, and expensive buildings, in the whole world!

"Just worship me" said the devil, "And you can have everything you want!"

"No!" said Jesus, "God is the only one we should worship! Go away!"

The devil saw that he could not change Jesus, so he went away...... Jesus had beaten him totally.

Victory.
