He was enticing Jesus with a possible means of achieving his goal without going to the cross. Jesus came for the nations, to redeem them. Satan made Jesus an empty promise that he would give the nations to Jesus in exchange for worship. He offered Jesus an easy way, painless way out, or at least it seemed that way. Actually it would have doomed man for eternity had Jesus gave into the temptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His passionate yearning to have others worship him. He took Jesus up to a mountain to show him all that God has created and all that Satan would give Him. Satan is the wicked one while God is the Holy One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
