Question: “What was the meaning and purpose of Jesus’ temptations?”
Answer: The three temptations by Satan in the wilderness were not the only temptations our Lord ever suffered on Earth. We read in Luke 4:2 that He was tempted by the devil for forty days, but He was undoubtedly tempted at other times (Luke 4:13; Matthew 16:21–23; Luke 22:42), and yet in all this He was without sin or compromise. Although some have suggested that the Lord’s period of fasting compares with that of both Moses (Exodus 34:28) and Elijah (1 Kings 19:8), the main point is how the Lord deals with temptation in the light of His humanity.

Known, an Unknown Poem
At Humility’s Hilt I began.
The Climb to Prosperity unknown.
All Dross by Cross no longer i own
No Tilting nor Tithing of the Cross i had known.
The Switchblade nor Gavel Nor Judgement Foreknown
At Heavens Door I knocked Predestined Well known
No Marvel at Sight nor Sounds nor Nouns
Smiling Joyfully Humiliated by Properity’s Reknown.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
