I re-read the accounts of Matthew and Luke of the Temptation of Christ recently, and several things struck me. Matthew and Luke’s versions of this event are nearly identical, so I am using Luke here for no particular reason. (Translation is King James, because it’s pretty, and in this case doesn’t disagree too significantly from versions often considered more accurate.)
This is just a quick sketch of my impressions and initial thoughts.
This is long but absolutely worth the read. It’s extremely helpful for someone like me who has trouble sitting down for hours to read the bible and pull it apart on my own because of illness.
If you ever feel inspired to make more of these types of posts, please do.
Thank you! I absolutely plan to do more posts like these in the future.
