Matthew 3:13-17
       The Baptism of Jesus and the Being of Christ ministry. Mat 18:11.
         ( His Work in obeying God the Father, doing the Father's Work. Luke 2:49 )
       This is only the Beginning of His ministry not that Christ Became Man.
        He was already God-Man.   John 3:16.
       Christ was of the Legal age of Thirty when He began his ministry. Luke 3:23.
      Before one could under the law Legally serve in the congregation or in service of the tabernacle.

                                                         Christ is tempted in the three avenues that all mankind is tempted.
                 1. The Lust of the Eyes, 
                 2. The Lust of the Flesh, And
                 3. The Pride of Life. 
                   Genesis 3:1-6; 1 John 2:15-17 
           1 John 2:16 KJV  For all that is in the world,
                                                the lust of the flesh,
                                                and the lust of the eyes,
                                                and the pride of life,
                                                is not of the Father, but is of the world. 

        Before I continue further I want to make definite that the readers understand that 
       Jesus Christ, the Son of God, The LORD of the Old Testament (YHWH ) Jehovah is 
       the Christ who is God in the Flesh.
         He was Christ ( God ) on the day of His baptism. He was already God He did not 
       have to become a God. Yes Christ was not converted to God, He is God, was  God,
       and always will be God. Christ means the Chosen or Anointed one. His human official  name
        is Jesus. Matthew 1:23 

               Matt. 1:23 KJV Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,
                                     and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being 
                                     interpreted is, God with us.

        As our study continues I may make reference to other works: Histories. Dictionaries, 
     Commentaries, Translations and any other reference that is appropriate. 
     This is not an attempt to attack or change any ones belief. Just an effort to being the truth to a
      better understanding of the Gospel and a lost world's need for salvation.
     An effort to put in plain words the Truth. The Gospel of Christ. We as believers are bidden to
      study the word of Truth. Joshua 1:8

                 2 Tim 2:15 KJV Study to show thyself approved unto God,
                                                 a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
                                                   rightly dividing the word of truth. 

                     2 Tim 2:15  CEV Do your best to win God's approval as a worker who doesn't 
                                                 need to be ashamed and who teaches only the true message
                     2 Tim 2:16  CEV Keep away from worthless and useless talk. 
                                                  It only leads people farther away from God. 

    Since we only have translations of the original we are to contend for the faith. Jude 1:3 

     Ones Faith should be strong in any Translation or any reference. God's Word is God's Word.
     

   Mat 3:13 KJV Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be 
                            baptized of him. 
   Mat 3:14 KJV But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of 
                            thee, and comest thou to me? 
    Mat 3:15 KJV And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: 
                           for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. 
                           Then he suffered him.
                         Facts:
                         1. Jesus came of His own free will to the Jordan River to be baptized
                               by John the Baptist. In order to accomplish all righteous. 
                         2. John recognized the one he was preparing the way for. 
                         3. John states to Christ that he needs to be Baptized of Christ.
                             This is the mark of a humble servant of God. It was also a great honor
                             to John to baptize Jesus. Mark 1:7-8; John 1:27. 
                                           John 1:27 KJV He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me,
                                                                     whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
                      John followed the will of God.
                          4. In Mat. 20:22 Christ speaks of His death as His Baptism.

                          5. Jesus came to fulfill all righteousness. 
                               John is included for it was foretold.
                              Christ used the word us. John consented to the baptism of Jesus.
                         6. John the Baptist was looking for Jesus. He was preparing the way.
                              Mark 1:8; Luke 3:16-17; John  1:29-30; Cp John 1:33; Isa. 11:2 
                          7. Christian so countless times overlook their calling by getting to the  point they 
                            believe they can do God's work in their personal power. 
                              They will achieve something for the reason that The word of God is commanding. 
                              With the power of God so much extra can be carried out.
 

                                        Heb 4:12 KJV For the word of God is quick, and powerful,
                                                               and sharper than any two-edged sword,
                                                               piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
                                                              and of the joints and marrow, 
                                                              and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

                                         Heb 4:12 CEV What God has said isn't only alive and active!
                                                                   It is sharper than any double-edged sword.
                                                                   His word can cut through our spirits and souls and 
                                                                   through our joints and marrow,
                                                                   until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts.
                              This sword is not referencing to the outer edges or sides. Most pocket knives
                                have only one side sharpen on both edges the other side is blunt with a notch for
                                pulling the blade out. In other words the edge is sharpen in a Vee.

                                         For a persons life to be changed the must hear the Gospel and accept Jesus.
                                            Rom 10:17. 

                                         Rom 10:17  KJV So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 

                                                       Rom 10:17 CEV No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ. 

                                  So much more can be done if the believers yields to God's power through prayer
                          and the leading of the Holy Ghost ( Spirit ). 
                                 First one must have Christ in their Hearts. God can and will do a  great work
                          through  them.
                                 To the ordinary believer, that only sees a small segment of time,  many may 
                          think their measures are only small. 
                                  The faithful believer, that day in and day out does God's work no matter how
                            small, may be doing a great work and not know it.
 

                              Example:
                                  A young man was out in London in a snow storm, went into a Church. 
                               The only one open on a snowy Wednesday night.
                                  He said he knew the Lord was talking to him, because he was the
                               only one there. He was saved that night.
                                    It was C. H. Spurgeon. Great works still carry on today as a  result of his
                             ministry. Always remember The Believer's are the ones Physically Carrying the
                             Gospel to another Person.
                                      Jesus gave the Commission to the disciples individually.
                              They can work where their resources a combined through the Church Heb 10:25. 
                              
                                              Rom 10:13 KJV For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 
                                                            14 KJV How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? 
                                                                         and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
                                                                         and how shall they hear without a preacher? 
                                                             15  KJV And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written,
                                                                           How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace,
                                                                          and bring glad tidings of good things! 
                                                             16  KJV But they have not all obeyed the gospel.
                                                                          For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 
                                                             17  KJV So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 
 

                           In the present day things still work the same.
                            Before anything to grow or reproduce seeds have to be sown.
                           There has to be someone preparing the soil, then a sower, then a reaper ( harvest ).
                           It then starts all over. The believers have to be made stronger through prayer,
                            bible reading and study.
                            References are like Hearing a Good sermon.
                            A believer is someone born into the human race (born of the water John 3:4-7)
                             and accepts Jesus Christ as paying their sin debt Past, Present, and Future,

                    Born of the Spirit
                         1 John 5:10-15 
                                    1 John 5:13 KJV These things have I written unto you  that believe on the name of the Son of God; 
                                                                 that ye may know that ye have eternal life, 
                                                                 and that ye may believe on the name of  the Son of God.

                             If you life is Spirit filled, it will carry forth the Word of God.
                            The Gospel is defined in 1 Cor 15:1-11
                                     Our salvation depends on what Christ did for us; 
                                         our reward depends on how we live for Him.

                         8.  John the Baptist was preparing the way for Jesus Christ. 
                              Mat 3:3; Isa. 4:3; Mal 3:1; Mark 1:1-3; Luke 1:76. 
                         9.  Jesus Christ came as God-man, He has always been God and is and will 
                              always be God's son. Rev 1:18 

                                      Rev 1:18 KJV I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold,
                                                                          I am alive forevermore,  Amen;
                                                                          and have the keys of hell and of death.
                                                     Rev 4:11  KJV Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor
                                                                       and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy 
                                                                       pleasure they are and were created. 
 

                                 The Son of God , the Promise. Genesis 3:15. 
                                       Gen 3:15 KJV And I will put enmity between thee and the woman,
                                                                            and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head,
                                                                            and thou shalt bruise his heel. 
                                      Isa. 7:14; Mat 1:18; Luke 1:27-28; 2 Cor 5:21; Heb 4:13-15; 
                                      Heb 7:26; 1 John 3:5. 
                                        In Jesus there was no sin. Christ was born of a virgin ( so the curse of 
                                    the First Adam's sin was not inherited, past on to Christ ).
                                   Every soul has this curse passed to them from Adam.
                                   Christ died and arose from the Dead to pay that sin debt forever.

                                       Christ even through He was tempted as man Christ did Not Sin.
                                  Christ died on the cross ( tree ), was buried, and by the power of  God
                                   arose the third day.
                                       Jesus Christ after he arose was seen of many.
                                     Mat 27:53,55; Acts 1:3. 
                            Then before Pentecost ascended to the place of the right hand of the God the Father

                                     Heb 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22 . 

                         10. One can not do a first-rate study of the temptation of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
                             John 3:17, the God-man John 1:1-14; John 5:18; John 10:30; Phi 2:5-6, 
                             with out the study of Christ's Baptism.
                                  With this study we will come across that Jesus Christ is  God the Son always was,
                              is alive today, and is God the Son in the Future.
                                  John 1:1-34; Rev 1:8; Rev 21:6; Rev 22:13. 
                                 This is a repeated theme in the Bible. 
                               The reality this subject matter is recurring makes it exceptionally essential. 
 

    Mat 3:16 KJV And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: 
                            and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him,and he saw the Spirit of God 
                            descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 
     Mat 3:17 KJV And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son,
                              in whom I am well pleased. 
                      Facts:
                         1. Jesus was Baptized By John the Baptist in the region of Galilee in the river of Jordan
                         2. The river had much water. Cp John 3:23. 
                               John immersed as he was instructed. The subjects went downward into theater.
                               Some have said John could only have baptized the great numbers only by
                                having them stand on the bank and John passing by and splashing water on 
                              them as He past them on the bank..

                                a. Jesus went up Straightway out of the water.
                                    He first had to go down into the water
                                b. In Mat 3:11 John states he Baptist with water and the one to come will
                                     Baptize with the Spirit and authority ( fire ). 
                                c.  John ask Jesus to baptize him with the Holy Ghost and Fire.
                                     Mat 3:11, 14. 
                                     Jesus instructed John to Baptize Him ( Jesus Christ )  the same as the rest.
                                     Baptism is not to take away sin.
                                     Baptism is show a new life with Jesus Christ.
                                     Died To the old Self and raised to a newness in Life.
                         3. Jesus had no sin. So Jesus' Baptism was not to take away sin. 
                              The believer is baptized to mark the beginning of a new life or their ministry 
                               as a servant of Jesus Christ and
                               to show the believer's connection with the Saviour.
                         4. Baptism for the believer is not to take away sins but rather to publish 
                             ( proclaim ) Christ and the supremacy of God in their life.

                              a. In Christ Baptism He satisfied the law. He and John fulfilled Righteousness.
                                   
                              b. Christ set an model. He identified with the believers. There has  constantly been
                                  believers even in the Old Testament.
                                  .
                         5. Christ did not turn into a God or the Son of God at this time. Jesus Christ has for
                               eternity been God.
                               Cp Luke 2:49; John 2:1-12. 
                         6. Jesus had reached the age of about 30 years Luke 3:23. 
                              Under Jewish Law  the Law of Moses ) the men children were indebted to the
                             father's rule and worked for their fathers.
                               In other words Christ had fulfilled another law or became his own person.

                              Jesus Christ was nevertheless human and yet God. Mat 1:22-25. 
                        In order for our sin obligation to be paid in full, Christ had to be man and be sinless.

                               A believer has to be redeemed by a sinless man under the law,
                               yet he had to be God The father's only begotten son, born of a virgin.
                                Mat 1:18. John 3:16. 
                       The Holy Spirit ( Ghost ) is the empowering of the work of God. 
                                  Gen 1:2; John 1:1;; John 3:6; John 3:16; John 14:17, 26; 
                                 John 15:26; John 16:13; 1 John 1:12-13; 1 John 4:13; 

                         7. These two Verses are powerful. Here is the record of God the Father,
                              God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost all in one place at the same 
                              time, each  a personality.

                                 a.. Here is Jesus God's Son, the Spirit of God descending like a dove.
                                     Luke 3:22 uses the words of a bodily shape like a dove.
                                                    Dove == 2. A word of endearment, 
                                                                                     or an emblem of innocence. Song 2:14.
                                               Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of American English By www.e-sword.net
                                     The Dove reference is to Purity and gently. Today the dove   represents
                                   the Holy Spirit.
                                     The accounts have the Spirit touching Jesus Christ. Isa 42:1. 
                                  b. Recorded here and else ware is that Jesus Christ God the Son was standing
                                       in the water. 
                                  c.  At Jesus out coming, the beginning of Jesus ministry,  a voice from Heaven  
                                       speaks, this ismy beloved Son  in whom I am well Pleased.

                                          These events were witness by all that were there. Jesus is the Lamb of God.

                                  d. All three parts of the Godhead , The Trinity were at the Baptism of Jesus
                                       all at once.
                                      The three persons each showing there approval. 
                         8. Scriptural Churches should be laying on Hands and Anointing The Souls they
                               are sending forth as ( Preachers, Pastor, Teachers and any workers even the
                               Grass cutter ) carring the Gospel.
                              Luke 10:22; 2 Cor 8:7; Phi 4:6; 1 Thess 5:17-19. 
                               Phi 4:6 KJV Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and 
                                                                        supplication with thanksgiving 
                                                                        let  your requests be made known unto God. 
                                        1 Thess 5:17 KJV  Pray without ceasing.
                                        1 Thess 5:18  KJV In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in 
                                                                         Christ Jesus  concerning you. 
                                        1 Thess 5:19  KJV Quench not the Spirit. 
                               How much Greater Anointed could there have been that the one Jesus received.
                            Many a father can relate to an occasion that they were Proud with up swelling
                            pride because their son suceeded because the father's Help.
                             The son doing what the father had taught or directed their education.
                             Jesus was not just a good man He is The God-man that came in the Flesh. 
                                The Flesh of the lowly human race. Heb 2:7-9. 

                               Luke 3:21 states Jesus was praying.
                               Yes God promises if we are obedience ( sin free life ) to the Father's will our 
                              Prayers will be answered. Yes Heaven will be opened.
                                1 John 5:14-15. 
                         9. The apostle John and John the Baptist Witness Jesus' Baptism and saw and heard
                             God's endorsement. 
                                The total three member of the Trinity were in attendance and expressed their
                              satisfaction with Jesus.
                        10. John the Baptist knew who Jesus was. John 1:29,35. 
                        11. On this day Jesus in public (openly ) begin His ministry of being about His 
                             Father's  business. Luke 2:49 
                        12. We know this was made in public. Many there probably didn't see or hear
                               because of their unbelief.
                                 The unbelievers will be sent to the Fiery pit of Hell. 
                                 Luke 16:19-31; 
                                Rev 19:20; Rev 20:10; Rev 20:14-15; Rev 21:8. 
                             Oh today miss the eternal fire of Hell and Gain Heaven through the  Finished work 
                              of Jesus Christ.
                       Mat 18:12; Luke 19:10; 2 Cor 6:2. 
                              DO NOT BE TORmented Day and Night in the Flame That  consumes NOT.
                              Brimstone Gives off no Light. With caution Get some flowers of sulfur And burn it.

                                  The Flame is Blue and has a stifling odor
                                  Be very careful not to get hurt or burn by the burning sulfur. 
                                It will take a while to heal if you are  hurt by the invisible blue flame. 
                                 The fumes can take your breath. 
                               The Fires of Hell are forever ( eternity - everlasting ).
                                  Mat 22:13; Mat 25:30; Cp John 12:46; 2 Peter 2:4; 
                                 2 Peter 2:17; Jude 1:6; Jude 1:13. 
                             The importance of missing the everlasting is so great it bears repeating in
                              difference translation of God's Holy Word.
                                             Rev 9:2 KJV And he opened the bottomless pit; 
                                                                  and there arose a smoke out of the pit,
                                                                   as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were
                                                                darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 

                                              Rev 9:2 CEV As it opened the tunnel, 
                                                                  smoke poured out like the smoke of a great furnace. 
                                                                  The sun and the air turned dark because of the smoke. 

                                              Rev 9:2 GW  It opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, 
                                                                   and smoke came out of the shaft
                                                                   like the smoke from a large furnace.
                                                                   The smoke darkened the sun and the air.
                         God's word Is powerful. The eternity Fires of the Lake are real.

                                 By the way this Shaft Has no Bottom or ending. It is going to hold 
                                  lots of Wicked and Lost Souls, Paying their on Sin liability themselves in
                                  the same place as their Father the Devil. John 8:44. 
                       What  is the second Death?  Separation From God and Loved ones for ever.
                                           Rev 20:14 KJV  And death and hell were cast into the lake of
                                                                                               fire. This is the second death. 
                                          Rev 20:14  GW  Death and hell were thrown into the fiery lake.
                                                                            (The fiery lake is the second death.) 

                        13. God the Father and God the Holy Ghost announce Jesus to be the Son Of God. 

                                Here is the three persons of the Godhead. The Trinity. 
                               Christ acknowledged the The Trinity.

                               Mat 28:19. Cp Genesis 1:26; Gen 3:22; Gen 11:7. 
                                        Gen 1:26 KJV And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
                                                                               and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
                                                                                and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
                                                                               and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing 
                                                                                that creepeth upon the earth.

                                  Notice The use of the words used are plural: us, our.
                        14. The instant each believer is saved by accepting the work of Jesus Christ and
                                asking Him to be Lord over their life.
                                One must invite Jesus to be their personal saviour.
                                 The Holy Spirit empowers  the believer to do the will of the father and live
                                  a life Christ would have His servants Live.
                                Cp 2 Cor 5:17; Rom 8:26; Rom 15:19; 1 Cor 2:4; 1 Cor 2:10-14. 
                        The Spirit of God dwells in you. 1 Cor 3:16; 1 Cor 6:11; 1 Cor 12:3; 1 Cor 12:9; 
                               2 Cor 1:22; 2 Cor 3:17; 2 Cor 5:5;  Gal 5:18; Eph 1:13; Eph 2:18; 
                                Eph 4:30; 1 Tim 3:16;  1 Peter 1:2; 1 John 3:24; 1 John 4:1-13; 1 John 5:6; 
                                Rev 1:10; Rev 2:7; Rev 22:17. 
                       The Scriptures concerning the Spirit can not be quoted without the question of the 
                         Spirit of God's work in eternal salvation and who keeps a soul saved for all eternity.

                         15. In biblical times the name stood for the person's place on earth or character. 
                              There are people in the bible, who names were changed.
                                  Saul's name changed  to Paul. Old creature to a new creature in Christ .

                                 The Devil has changed name having a meaning to the name is just a 
                               name. He attack God's word By changing the meaning of words.
                               This is one of the reason their are so many translations of God's Word
                                from the original. The Hebrew Old Testament was translated  to Greek, 
                              it was also from Hebrew to Latin and Syriac.
                                     These ancient translations can sometimes show what the Hebrew 
                               or Greek text said at the time they were translated. Modern  translators 
                              as well as many older Translators did use them to come to a better
                               understanding of the meaning of God's word.

                               Eph 6:12; Col 2:15. 
                               A person still today can create a name for themselves.
                               Certain people both good and evil's name tell of their character and works
                                on earth. Whatever they did to make a name for themselves is a name
                                that is associated with their deeds.

                         16. The Heavens were opened unto Christ.
                               This was done while Jesus was praying.
                                Luke 3:21. 
                         17. The voice from Heaven in verse 17 identifies Jesus as God's Son. 
                               The words are repeated in the Word of God.
                                 Mat 17:5; Luke 9:35-36; 2 Peter 1:17; Voice from Heaven again before
                                  His death.  John 12:25-30. 
                                 The fact it is repeated, means take notice this is essential.
                                 The phrase is also to show the nearness to God the Father's heart
                                   His son was.   Heb 1:10-13 
                                 Implies He is coequal With God the Father.
                                  Heb 1:5-8; John 10:29-33; John 19:7. 
 

     Mat 4:1  KJV Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be 
                             tempted of  the devil.

           Facts:
           1. The Holy Ghost lost no time in sending Jesus to the wilderness.
                 The wilderness is the territory of the serpent (Satan). The wilderness is an 
                uninhabited area. 
                  "This was likely somewhere in the outback country of Judea which can be most 
                     inhospitable. Temptation is a worldly and inhospitable experience. The area
                     about the wilderness is covered with rocks and cliffs. The "wilderness" is an 
                    uninhabited area that is barren and hot. It is a difficult and often life 
                    threatening place to be. The Lord has promised to provide streams in the 
                   desert Isa. 35:6; Isa. 43:19)."

                                                          Baptist.   http://www.abaptist.org
      2. The Holy Spirit Led Jesus into the Wilderness. Mark 1:13 states wild beasts ( Animals )
                were with Jesus in the Wilderness. These desert animals can kill a person.
                 In Mark 1:12 Mark tells Jesus  was drove or made to go to the wilderness. 

                 The Greek word used here has a stronger word than drove. This testing was 
                  of  much importance, to the idea of must do.
                    Jesus had to stand up to the wiles of the Devil. Cp. Eph 6:11

                                   In Mat 4:1 Led up = anago¯ an-ag'-o
                                                      From G303 and G71; to lead up; by extension to bring out;
                                                      specifically to sail away: - bring (again, forth, up again), 
                                                     depart, launch (forth), lead (up), loose, offer, sail, set forth, take up.
                                             Drove = G1544   ekballo¯ ek-bal'-lo
                                                       From G1537 and G906; to eject (literally or figuratively):
                                                       - bring forth, cast (forth,  out), drive (out), expel, leave,
                                                       pluck (pull, take, thrust) out, put forth (out), send away (forth, out).
                                             Temptations are used by the Holy Spirit to make us strong.
                                 Luke 4:1 says Jesus Led into the wilderness.
                                               Led = ago¯ ag'-o  G71 
                                                a primary verb; properly to lead; by implication to bring, drive, 
                                                (reflexively) go, (specifically) pass (time), or (figuratively) induce: - be, 
                                                bring (forth), carry, (let) go, keep, lead away, be open.

        3. Jesus was to be tempted as all other man. Remember Jesus is God's son.
                 He also was God come in the Flesh. Our Saviour had to bear the sin burden
                 for the whole of creation. Christ covers the sin of all believers. The sins forgiven
                  are Past, Present, and  Future . Mat 12:31.  All sin. He even takes away the Cruse
                  of Adam passed on to the human race and all of creation. 
            John 1:29; John 16:8; Rom 5:12; 1 John 1:7; 1 John 2:1; 1 John 3:9. 
                                        Rom 5:12 KJV Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world,
                                                                  and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men,
                                                                   for that all have sinned:
                                         Rom 8:22 KJV For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth
                                                                  in pain together until now. 
                     Remember Jesus body was human at this time and until His death on the cross.

                    If He did not have a human body like ours Jesus could not have died on the
                  cross for our sin, and the Cruse, Adam passed on to the total of creation couldn't
                   have been lifted for all who make Christ Lord and master of their life. 
                Mark 16:19; Acts 7:56; 1 Tim 2:5
                   The power of God raised Jesus Christ from the grave alive. Then Jesus received
                   His glorified body.
                   God! thanks, that the God-man, Jesus Christ is Alive and is mine
                   connection in Heaven, setting at God's right Hand. A Place of  Power
                   and authority. Mark 16:19; 1 Tim 2:5-6; Cp. Genesis 41:41-44
                  Joseph was a type or picture of Christ.
                  Being man Jesus suffer as we do. Jesus begin God provided the redemption
                  power of eternal life. Abundant life.
           4. When a person receives a Call to be saved or serve the Lord, the Devil and his demons
                Will do everything in their powers to redirect that person paths away from service of God,
               there by depriving them of blessings and joy in  the Lord.

            5. Matthew's account seems to arrange the three temptations in a difference order.
                 The second and third temptation are reversed. Matthew has them arranged
               Chronically ( times wise, the order they happen ).
            6. Each of the Four gospels present Christ in a difference office.
               Matthew   == Christ , The King
               Mark        == Christ , The Servant
               Luke        == Christ , The Man
               John         == Christ , In His Deity. "Christ being God in the beginning.
                                  John 1:1-4. Christ is our Saviour.
