Looking – overcoming territorialism
Jesus deals with the ‘lust of the eyes’
Following the order in Luke’s Gospel, we now come to our second temptation, and find the devil already moving quickly to take Jesus onto higher ground. Clearly he’s not going to give up with Jesus until he’s used all three prongs of his attack. Having failed to ensnare Jesus by drawing on His inner longings, he now seeks to discover how deeply Jesus feels for this world He has created.
This test not only involves a relocation, but also requires a vision. The temptations are intensifying.
