Question

Reflecting Jesus and His kingdom
Jesus Christ stands arguably, as the world's most influential leader in history. But believers around the world know that Jesus claimed to be much more than a great leader. One theme that shines bright in the life and ministry of Jesus is what Jesus believed about Himself.

Consider how Lucifer tempted Jesus to doubt his identity. "If you are the Son of God"...(Matthew 4:3,6). At the cross, the same methodology turned up when the religious leaders taunted Jesus, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the son of God, the chosen one". Even the soldiers joined in and said, "If you are the king of the jews, save yourself" (Luke 23:35-36).

Question:
1. Why do you think the evil one sought to attack Jesus on His sense of identity? What might have been the result if Jesus turned stones to bread or jumped down from the cross victoriously.

Answers

Answered by GPT 3.5
The evil one sought to attack Jesus on His sense of identity because he knew that if Jesus doubted who He was, it would undermine His mission and purpose on earth. If Jesus had succumbed to the temptation to turn stones into bread or jump down from the cross victoriously, it would have been a denial of His true identity as the Son of God and the Savior of the world. It would have shown a lack of trust in God's plan and purpose for His life. Jesus knew His identity and remained steadfast in fulfilling His mission, ultimately bringing salvation and redemption to all who believe in Him.
