What If?

Satan succeeded with Eve. However, he failed with Jesus. Can you just hear Jesus saying, “You do realize, Satan, that My Father and I own the entire universe and you are trying to tempt Me to worship you for the little kingdom you have permission to call yours?” Actually, Jesus used a much more effective rebuttal – He quoted Scripture!

The Invitation

Jesus invited Peter, Andrew, James and John with these words, “Come, follow Me and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:18-22; Mark 1:16-20). Come join me in My Father’s work. Their response? They immediately left everything and followed Jesus.
“Come.” Come walk on the water with Me, Peter. And Peter did, but then he saw the waves and in fear, cried out, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him. (Matthew 14:28-29)
