The Temptations of Jesus the King

Text: Matthew 4:1-11

As we begin to look at the time of the “temptation” of Jesus we will see that this takes place immediately after His baptism by John the Baptist and before He begins His earthly ministry.

What was the Earthly ministry of Jesus:

Act 10:38  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: [who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil]; for God was with him.

Heb 2:14  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; [that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15  And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage]. 

Jesus was not tempted so that The Father could learn anything about Him because The Father had already approved His Son:

Mat 3:16  And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Mat 3:17  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, [This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased].

Jesus Christ was “tempted” so that every creature in Heaven and on Earth, or under the Earth would know that Jesus is the “Conqueror”

Rom 8:37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Rom 8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

This “temptation was not a “trial” for Jesus. It was to show everyone in Heaven, in Earth and under the Earth that The Christ of God, Jesus, could not be seduced by the devil as Adam had been!

What can we learn?

1.) We see the “boldness” of Satan. If he would attack Jesus, God in the flesh, then we should know he would not hesitate to attack the Christian.

2.) We can witness the example of how to stand up to and defeat the devil.

Jas 4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

3.) To show Satan, the Devil, that mankind can stand up to his evilness if they return to God.

Eph 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Christ went up against Satan as a lowly servant and defeated him:

Php 2:5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Php 2:6  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Php 2:7  But made himself of no reputation, and [took upon him the form of a servant], and was made in the likeness of men:
Php 2:8  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Joh 5:19  Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

Joh 6:57  As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

Joh 8:28  Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Joh 8:54  Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

Jesus had to show the world that He was “morally right” to be King:

1Co 15:45  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1Co 15:46  Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Co 15:47  The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

Jesus exposed Satan and his tactics and defeated him. Because Jesus was victorious, we can also have the victory or the Devil.

Our Lord’s experience of “temptation” prepared Him to be our sympathetic High Priests:

Heb 2:16  For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Heb 2:17  Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18  [For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted].

Heb 4:15  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; [but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin].
Heb 4:16  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

It will be very important to make note that Jesus faced the “enemy” as a man. We must not think that Jesus used His divine powers to overcome the Devil because that is just what Satan wanted Him to do.

What was Satan’s objective?

He wanted Christ to act on His own independent of His Father. He wanted Jesus to use godly power:

1.) To prove He was the Son of God.

2.) To take the easy way out to obtain the throne of David.

BUT Christ used a way that even a “babe in Christ” could use:

1Co 3:1  And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even as unto babes in Christ].
1Co 3:2  I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
1Co 3:3  For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

Christ gives us the weapons of warfare the very first day of our salvation:

It takes faith in the Word of God to be saved and that very same Word of God will defeat the Devil every time:

2Ti 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Jesus had no past to give Satan a foothold but this temptation was real just the same. Jesus came to do the will of His Father in Heaven and nothing was going to change that!

This is our task once we are saved. To do the Will of God for our lives:

Ecc 12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

*****Our Text:

Mat 4:1  Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Mat 4:2  And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
Mat 4:3  And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Mat 4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

The first word we see is the word “then”. You see only after Christ was recognized by John the Baptist as the Lamb of God, Only after that Voice of God from Heaven giving His approval, Only after the anointing of the Holy Ghost(the Dove) and Only after Christ gave witness of Himself by baptism, was Jesus Christ led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted of the Devil(Satan).

We cannot battle Satan without the armor of God.

2Ti 2:19  Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
2Ti 2:20  But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
2Ti 2:21  If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

2Ti 2:24  And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
2Ti 2:25  In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
2Ti 2:26  And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, [who are taken captive by him at his will].

Notice the Holy Spirit led Christ, the Messiah, Jesus straight into the battle with Satan.

Once we are saved we need to join in the battle against the evils of this world. We can only do this in one way. We go out armed with the Word of God to teach others the truth of the Gospel and to lead others to Christ.

The Apostle Paul said:

2Co 10:3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
2Co 10:4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
2Co 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2Co 10:6  And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

1Ti 1:18  This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, [that thou by them mightest war a good warfare];
1Ti 1:19  Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

2Ti 4:5  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
2Ti 4:6  For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
2Ti 4:7  [I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith]:

We never hear of the Apostle Paul taking up arms of any kind in the battle against evil. As we go through this Book of Matthew we will not ever see Jesus Christ take up carnal weapons nor authorize the use of them. It is the Word of God that is our weapon and our armor.

Saying all that, God never said we could not defend ourselves against those that would harm us.

Luk 10:19  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luk 10:20  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; [but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven].

Notice in verse two that though Jesus went straight to meet Satan(the tempter), Satan himself was in no hurry to get there.

We know that:

1Pe 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1Pe 5:9  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

We know that Satan had already tried to use Herod to kill Jesus:

Mat 2:16  Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.

We can be sure that Satan was observing Christ Jesus to see any weakness and if He would use His Godly power.

Satan waited forty days.

The number forty occurs many times in the Bible and is always in connection with “temptation” or “retribution”. It is clearly a sacred thing. Moses and Elijah also fasted for forty days at the will of God. We also should have our own season of fasting for the right reasons.

Because the child of God is endowed with the Holy Ghost, he will almost never attack when God’s children are their strongest. He waits on a sign of weakness.

Jesus could have eaten of His own power at anytime but He chose to come in the flesh to save mankind:

Joh 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Heb 2:14  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15  And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Heb 2:16  For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

Rom 8:3  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:5  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Satan knew all these things so what was Satan’s objective?

Satan would try to induce Jesus Christ to act on His own independent of His Father in Heaven!

Joh 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17  [For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved].

You see Jesus Christ did not exist for Himself but He existed for all those (whosoever will) that He came to save. The very moment He used His power to save Himself, He would disqualify Himself to be our Savior.

Satan knew this so he immediately brought up the fact that Jesus, God in the flesh, would have to be very hungry.

Where does Satan begin his attack? The word “IF”.

Casting doubt into our minds. Satan and all his demon know full well that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. This he says to try to get Jesus to prove it.

God tells us to wear a helmet because Satan will do his very best to cast doubt in our minds. You see Satan will never admit that He is a “loser” until he has to bow the knee to Christ.

Jesus could have eaten at any time of those forty days but it would have taken His power because He was in a wilderness, a desert, there was no food there other than the wild beast which would have been unclean animals.

You know when the serpent went after Eve, she had access to all kinds of food. She was in a garden and if she were hungry she could have eaten at any time but Satan also cast doubt in the Word of God.

This is the weapon that Christ Jesus chose to overcome the Devil, God’s Holy Word.

Deu 8:3  And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; [that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live].

God knows we need physical nourishment but more important we need the “spiritual food” that can come only from God’s Word.

There is a pledge that we use in our children’s classes but we all should use it every day for ourselves:

It goes like this:

I pledge to the Bible, God’s Holy word, and will take it as a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path, and hide it’s words in my heart that I may not sin against God. (Psa 119:105)

*****Our Text:

Mat 4:5  Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Mat 4:6  And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Mat 4:7  Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

What we notice is that Jesus allows Satan to transport Him to the Temple in Jerusalem. Satan still possesses his angelic powers. Not only did he carry Jesus to the Temple but to the pinnacle, the highest point of the Temple.

Even though it does not say, there had to be witnesses at the Temple. Satan would not do anything without witnesses. It would have been so easy for Jesus to jump down from that high point and have the priest see that only God had such power when He landed safely or that angels caught Him safely.

Jesus had used the Scriptures to defeat Satan at his first attempt so now Satan uses scripture in his evil test of Jesus:

Psa 91:11  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, [to keep thee in all thy ways].
Psa 91:12  They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

But notice what Satan does, he leaves out the most important part of the scripture. God had said “to keep thee in “all” thy ways”.

The angles cannot only catch us if we fall but they can give us enough sense to not jump to begin with!

Jesus had nothing to prove to Satan and this is our example that we also do not have anything to prove to the Devil when he comes around with his twisted words and his undermining of God’s truth. We should be wary of all those that say they have a new translation of God’s Bible.

We should never accept any challenge from the Devil and his followers to prove who we are!

God will always protect those in His Will but we should never test God by putting ourselves in harm’s way.

Jesus answers again by God’s Word:

Deu 6:16  [Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God], as ye tempted him in Massah.

The angels of God stood by to see what their and our Lord would do. To the humans everywhere Jesus, God in the flesh, proves His manhood by standing and asserting His rights. But Christ declared through His temptation that the “strength of man” lies in the “abandoning of his own will” and “yielding absolutely to the will of God”.

This is the only right that the free men of God possess!

Ecc 12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

It is by being in the Will of God that man can endure all the evil of Satan.

1.) The first temptation required Jesus to be independent of His hunger for food.

2.) The second temptation required Jesus to be dependent on every word of the Father.

It will be a fact that the Anti-Christ will use these same tactics but he will cause a miracle to obtain his food and he will cause his angels to protect him from all danger. The Anti-Christ could never be the Messiah, He hates mankind almost as much as he hates God.

If we step outside the known will of God we cannot expect God to fulfill His will for us. Neither could Jesus Christ our Lord!

If Christ Jesus had acted in obedience to Satan, (jumped when Satan ask Him to), He would have removed Himself from the promise of God.

*****Our Text:

Mat 4:8  Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Mat 4:9  And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Mat 4:10  Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Mat 4:11  Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

We know that Christ Jesus allows Himself to be moved by the Devil to another location. [That word exceeding means to the highest of mountains or the chieftest of mountains.]

Jesus is shown “all” the kingdoms of the world and it says the glory of them.

Luke put it this way:

Luk 4:5  And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world [in a moment of time].

We can only imagine what was shown to Our Lord but the verse does say “all” the kingdoms. We can think of many of the great kingdoms of the past that we know about and yet this could include kingdoms of our own time or even in our future.

After this Christ Jesus was given an opportunity to possess these kingdoms for Satan said:

“All these things will I give thee”,

We can see that Satan claimed some right to these kingdoms. His claim was that these kingdoms had only become so great under his control. That they were submissive to his ways, that they were obedient to his laws. Satan could have easily shown Jesus a vision of what the world looks like right now.

Remember:

Joh 16:11  Of judgment, [because the prince of this world is judged].

Eph 2:2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the [prince of the power of the air], the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

We know Satan was then as he is today, having authority over all those that are in darkness to the word of God.

What we do know is that God has already decided to give all these things to Christ, yet to obtain them Jesus Christ would have to suffer the cross.

Satan implied that Jesus could avoid the cross by just bowing to him at this time.

Psa 2:1  Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Psa 2:2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Psa 2:3  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Psa 2:4  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psa 2:5  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Psa 2:6  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Psa 2:7  I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Psa 2:8  Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Psa 2:9  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Psa 2:10  Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Psa 2:11  Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Again Satan said:

“if thou wilt fall down and worship me.”

To receive worship has been Satan’s chief objective since shortly after his creation:

Isa 14:13  [For thou hast said in thine heart], I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

We know that Satan will try to do this again after the rapture of the Church:

2Th 2:4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

You see God knew what was in the heart of Satan before he sinned against God just shortly after his creation.

He is motivated by pride will try anything to dethrone God.

In the first two temptations Jesus recognized God’s absolute authority and had submitted to Him. Satan was trying to allow Jesus to submit to this way to obtain what God said He would do, to set Him on the throne to rule this world.

Satan is willing to give to give up everything to gain worship from God.

But God is not willing that anyone perish.

2Pe 3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, [not willing that any should perish], but that all should come to repentance.

You see it is God alone that has the right to receive worship and he demands our obedience.

Jesus answered:

Deu 6:13  Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

Deu 10:20  Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.

Satan ask for worship. Christ Jesus tied worship to serving. To worship Satan would be to also serve him.

The lost of this world are serving Satan every day they reject Jesus Christ. That is just a fact whether they believe it or even believe in his existence. They are serving Satan which means they are also worshipping him. If you are serving Satan and it is he that placed you in authority then, it is he that final authority.

In other words had Jesus accepted these things from Satan they would have still belonged to Satan.

The Apostle John tells that there are three ways Satan attacks:

1Jn 2:15  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jn 2:16  For all that is in the world, [the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life], is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jn 2:17  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Satan used all three:

1.) The first temptation was “the lust of the flesh” Jesus had fasted forty days.

2.) The second temptation was “the pride of life” an appeal to Jesus spiritual nature.

3.) The third temptation was “the lust of the eyes” as the carnal world was paraded before Christ.

Jesus Christ was victorious over all three.

Heb 4:15  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Compared to Adam:

1.) The Devil challenged Adam but Christ challenged the Devil.

2.) The Devil ruined Adam but Christ spoiled the Devil.

3.) 1Co 15:22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

4.) 1Co 15:45  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

If we serve God we will be tempted of the Devil. Jesus Christ has given us all the tools and the weapons to defeat the Devil. The Devil will not quit. If we were as committed to our Lord as the Devil is committed to His failure, our lives would be much better.

Satan uses these same old tactics because they have worked for him all these years, because we simply do not have enough faith in the Word of God.

Satan has nothing of real value to offer us. All he has is temporal things!

The Bible says:

Jas 4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Paul said to put on our armor and stand steadfast on God’s Word. There is no other way to make Satan flee from your presence and he will return the more if you become a willing servant of God.

There are still many that deny the existence of Satan but the truth is if there is no Satan then there is no reason for Christ to come and the Bible is all a lie. To deny the Messiah is to serve Satan:

1Jn 2:21  I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
1Jn 2:22  Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

1Jn 5:9  If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
1Jn 5:10  He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
1Jn 5:11  And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1Jn 5:12  He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
1Jn 5:13  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

You see to the Lost of this world who deny the Devil(Satan) then:

1.) Then there can be no sin.
2.) Then there can be no judgment.
3.) Then there can be no wrath.
4.) Then there can be no atonement.
5.) Then there can be no Savior.
6.) And there could be no God.

It is somewhat easy to see why there is a denial by the evolutionist and the atheist. They have to have denial to live their humanism lives, But for those that believe in a false religion to deny Christ is certainly a foolish thing.

Jesus Christ was obedient till His death on the cross:

Php 2:8  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

God has put all things under His feet:

Eph 1:22  And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Eph 1:23  Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

One day soon the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdoms of the Lord Jesus:

Rev 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Rev 22:20  He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

I love  you Jesus.

Let’s Pray!
