CCS 449 - Jesus, Tempted in the Desert
Jesus, Tempted in the Desert
Jesus, tempted in the desert,
lonely, hungry, filled with dread:
“Use your pow’r,” the tempter tells him.
“Turn these barren rocks to bread!”
“Not alone by bread,” he answers,
“can the human heart be filled.
Only by the Word that calls us
is our deepest hunger stilled!”
Jesus, tempted at the temple,
high above its ancient wall:
“Throw yourself from lofty turret;
angels wait to break your fall!”
Jesus shuns such empty marvels,
feats that fickle crowds request:
“God, whose grace protects, preserves us,
we must never vainly test.”
Jesus, tempted on the mountain
by the lure of vast domain:
“Fall before me! Be my servant!
Glory, fame, you’re sure to gain!”
Jesus sees the dazzling vision,
turns his eyes another way:
“God alone deserves our homage!
God alone will I obey!”
When we face temptation’s power,
lonely, struggling, filled with dread,
Christ, who knew the tempter’s hour,
come and be our living bread.
By your grace, protect, preserve us
lest we fall, your trust betray.
Yours, above all other voices,
be the Word we hear, obey.

It is interesting that Peter opposes Christ on the Cross, and was called Satan for this reason. Judas is considered the spiritual son of Peter, and he becomes Satan. However, Judas actually turns himself in if you read Zechariah 11 very carefully. Reading verse 14 it becomes clear Judas is still talking and it was Judas who is the lord who made the covenant with Judah and Israel. Scriptures suggest Peter is the "Bear" of the Beast who was "Lifted up on one side." Then does Peter go into Judas, who is actually Jesus? It is said Amen Ra created the universe using the soul of PTAH.
