August 15, 2012 | Matthew 4:8-11 - My Kingdom Come: Why the Gospel is Greater Than Kingdom Building Idolatry

Sunday we discussed the third and final temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4:8-11 emphasizing how easy it is for us to build our kingdoms through the means of idolatry. I believe that if you can understand idolatry, you can overcome temptation. When we crucify our idols, we can be freed from sin. But first, we need the cross.

Again, the devil *took Him to a very high mountain and *showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, “ All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus *said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘ You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.’” 11 Then the devil *left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him.
