Long ago after living 40 days in the barren wasteland around his hometown Jesus met a man who proved to be Satan. As the faced each other the following conversation ensued, "If you are Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down; for scripture says: He has given his angels orders about you, and they will carry you in their arms in case you trip over a stone." {Matthew 4:6 NJB}
You may not know this but this whole encounter took place for you and me. Satan already knew how Jesus was going to react to him but Jesus knew the day would come when we'd encounter Satan under similar circumstances. "If you believe Jesus to be your Savior," he whispers to us, "Go ahead do what ever you want his death and ressurrection will make it right. Why worry if God says he loves you unconditionally why don't you believe him?" Today you'll need to remember when Jesus' Spirit lives in your heart and Satan presses you to put Jesus on trial the Spirit living in you far exceeds the power of Satan. Satan knew it then and he knows it now!
Jesus is... ... ...Bigger than life!
