Isn’t it interesting that Jesus had to fast for 40 days and nights before he was tempted? And it still wasnt a fair fight.

The temptations are interesting too:

- bread, which He had the power to make any time he wanted,
- showing His trust in God, which He demonstrated in other ways, and
- power over people, many of whom would eventually follow Him willingly.

It’s almost like the Bible is telling us that Satan’s promises are either empty or they are lies.
