Friends,
I hoping for some quick help on the three final temptations in the order Luke presents them.
I have been racking my brain as to why each of the three temptations was so difficult for Jesus. Example: I wouldn't be tempted to jump off the Temple. I am leading a discussion on this topic tomorrow evening, and I am not satisfied with my answers. I have been working on this off and on for weeks. I have five pages of typed notes and twice that many handwritten. And I'm still not satisfied with my answers. The last two meetings I stressed the humanity as well as the Impeccability of Christ.
Any quick help you can offer will be appreciated. Nothing elaborate. Just a sentence or two each.
Here's my outline (Not my conclusions)
1. Stone to Bread
2. The Kingdoms of the World
3. From the Top of the Temple

Prove You are the Son of God
2. The Kingdoms of the World
Take the Crown Without the Cross
3. From the Top of the Temple
Don't You Trust the Word of God?
