Question

Why did Jesus meet Satan's temptations with 'It is written' rather than the gifts God gave Him?

Answer

As I was speaking this afternoon of the Deity of Jesus Christ, the Father in Him, all God was—give His gifts into His Son that it might be manifested in the earth. When He met Satan, He never used one of them. He brought it down to show that the weakest of Christians… Satan comes in and says, “If…” That question mark’s always across the Word. “If Thou be the Son of God, command these stones to be turned into bread,” when He was hungry. Jesus said…never said, “Now, here. I am the Son of God. I rebuke you.” He never said it. Jesus said, “It is written (the Father’s Word), ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” Taken Him up on the pinnacle of the temple, Jesus said, “It is written.” Taken Him up on the mountain, Jesus said, “It is written.” Is that right? So Jesus showed you that Satan could be defeated by the Word of God. The Word of God will defeat Satan tonight if there never was a gift to the church. See what I mean? How many believe that’s the truth? God’s Word.
