The Salesman Of Sin Was A Flop

On the First Sunday Of Lent:

Some Salesperson tries to get you to try his/her product. He or She only points out the benefits of the product & in coming in to invest with that product. He/She has a motive, whether it be profit, control or both:

In this case the salesman is Satan & he is trying to sell Jesus some fancy bill of goods, if Jesus follows and worships Satan;

Satan made a big mistake, treating Jesus as merely human, as The Christ who is God The Son, knows what Satan is all about, since Satan is Master of Deceit;

WHY would GOD bow before Satan? He Would NEVER do that, since Jesus Is All Good, why would Good Bow Before Evil? Granted, after 40 Days of Abstinence from all food and drink, the Human Jesus was hungry, but Jesus , as God did not fall for the snares of Satan;

There is a lesson in all of this for we humans to resist evil. Often, people want other people to adhere to orders which may not even be lawfully given orders, nor have any basis in law. Often, to get someone to obey that order, Deceit is often employed, with the hope that the subordinate doesn't fully understand the full meaning of what is being commanded. This is what Satan presumed with The Christ.

A Well-Formed Conscience, and a lot of prayer, will combat temptation. A guy who offers someone a couple of gallons of beer, is attempting to lure someone into a state of serious intoxication. While the beer can lead to some pleasure in small amounts, a lot of it can get one to become seriously-impaired in physical movements and judgement. One should always think about the consequences of one's actions.

Add some prayer and things will be better in the long run.
