SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 4:1-13

1 Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. The Spirit led Jesus into the desert,

2 where the devil tempted Jesus for forty days. Jesus ate nothing during that time, and when those days were ended, he was very hungry.

3 The devil said to Jesus, "If you are the Son of God, tell this rock to become bread."

4 Jesus answered, "It is written in the Scriptures: 'A person does not live by eating only bread.' "

5 Then the devil took Jesus and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant.

6 The devil said to Jesus, "I will give you all these kingdoms and all their power and glory. It has all been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.

7 If you worship me, then it will all be yours."

8 Jesus answered, "It is written in the Scriptures: 'You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.' "

9 Then the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and put him on a high place of he Temple. He said to Jesus, "If you are the Son of God, jump down.

10 It is written in the Scriptures: 'He has put his angel in charge of you to watch over you.'

11 It is also written: 'They will catch you in their hands so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.' "

12 Jesus answered, "But it also says in the Scriptures: 'Do not test the Lord your God.' "

13 After the devil had tempted Jesus in every way, he left him to wait until a better time.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
