Have you heard the story of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp?Do you want a magic lamp?When the elf wants you to make a wish,would you be happy to beg for something?Would you be suspicious of the elf's intentions?

Beware of Satan's schemes!

Matthew 4:1~11

Matthew 4:4
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’

Jesus is God. The only purpose he came to earth was to save humans from sin. Satan, the devil which rebelled against God, tried every possible way to spoil this important plan. This time, Satan took advantage of Jesus’ fasting for 40 days. When he was hungry after the fast, he used three tricks to tempt Jesus in an attempt to kill him. But Jesus used the words of the Bible to resist Satan’s lies.

What words did Jesus use from the Bible to overcome Satan’s three temptations?

● Telling Jesus to turn stone into bread
● Telling Jesus to throw himself down off the highest point of the temple
● Telling Jesus to worship Satan

■ Do not put the Lord your God to the test
■ Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only
■ Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God

  1. Did you know that there are many missing children that were kidnapped and hurt because they listened to strangers and acted according to their words? Jesus once encountered such an evil and terrible experience!

  2. What did Jesus do to avoid Satan’s trap? Satan knew that he couldn’t deceive Jesus, what happened then?

  1. Temptation

  2. Glory

Satan is often by our side, trying to trick us. However, God is always with us and sends his angels to protect us. We must diligently read the Bible and keep God's word in our hearts so that we are able to tell what is real and fake in times of danger and challenge.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for sending Jesus to the world to save us from sins. I will read the Bible diligently and memorize Bible verses. I will also be more aware, careful, and avoid listening to strangers and their offers of gifts or candy. I will tell God and my parents about the things that I want! In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen!
