Psalm 91 is so Important that Lucifer Quoted it.....

For He shall give his angels charge over thee, 

to keep thee in all thy ways. 

Psalm 91:11

And he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto Him, If Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself down from hence: For it is written, He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
Luke 4:9,10

***So Lucifer does study the Scriptures....

LESSON of: "With the wild beasts"

And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto Him. Mark 1:13

"With the wild beasts - This is a curious circumstance, which is mentioned by none of the other evangelists; and seems to intimate that 

---He was in the most remote, unfrequented, and savage part of the desert; 

---which, together with the diabolic influence, tended to render the whole scene the more horrid. 

Mark observes this circumstance of his being in the wilderness—that he was with the wild beasts.

It was an instance of His Father's care of Him,

that He was preserved from being torn in pieces by the wild beasts, which encouraged Him the more that His Father would provide for Him when He was hungry." 

Adam Clarke

The Intensity of that Conflict

 "It is written.... It is written again.... For it is written. Matthew 4:4-10.

Some who in times past have been honored of God, have become ensnared by the deceptions of the enemy. 

They have been warned of their danger, but in refusing to hear the

warnings sent them, they have become more and more deceived, until finally they are found fighting against the Lord and against His workers.

In meeting the enemy in the wilderness, Christ's response to his wicked insinuations was, “It is written.” 

When Satan presumed to claim the ownership of the whole world, and asked Christ to worship him as God, He who with a word might have called to His assistance legions of angels, merely said, “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve” (Matthew 4:10). 

The intensity of this conflict  

we but partly understand. 

It seemed as though the Savior would die on the field of battle, but He withstood the wily foe. His words so carefully chosen, were as sharp as a two-edged sword. Satan was thoroughly repulsed. He realized that the Prince of Life could not be deceived by any sophistry.

We are now upon the field of conflict....

Let the Word of God be our study....

To as many as believe in Him, Christ gives power to become the sons of God." E.G.W.

Christ & Temptation

"He was “touched with the feeling of our infirmities,” because He “was in all points tempted like as we are.” 

When He was tempted, he felt the desires and the inclinations of the flesh, precisely as we feel them when we are tempted. 

“Every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lusts [his own desires and inclinations of the flesh] and enticed.” James 1:14. 

 

All this Jesus could experience without sin; because to be tempted is not sin. It is only “when lust hath conceived,” 

--when the desire is cherished, 

--when the inclination is sanctioned, —only then it is that “it bringeth forth sin.” 

 

And Jesus never even in a thought cherished a desire, or sanctioned an inclination, of the flesh. 

*Thus, in such flesh as ours, He was tempted in all points as we are, and yet without a taint of sin." A.T. Jones
