• Satan says to Jesus: "To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours." (4:6-7) Sometimes we long for something more, but in fact God has already given it to us already. Jesus, as son of God, should already have control over everything, why would he need to fall under Satan to gain? Likewise we are lifted from sin, do we still need to be under satan's rule?

• Jesus reminds up not to neglect the needy (v31) "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."

"Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
"Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. "Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
"Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man!
