Deep dives
Doubting the Father's Goodness
The first temptation Jesus faced was centered on doubting the goodness of the Father, specifically regarding His provision. In this context, Satan approached Jesus after his 40-day fast, challenging Him to turn stones into bread, thereby implying that the Father had abandoned Him. Jesus countered this temptation by quoting scripture, affirming that humanity lives not by bread alone but by every word from God. The purpose of this temptation was to induce despair, pushing Jesus to act independently rather than relying on divine provision, an action that could sever His relationship with God.
