The devil.( 2 ) (Deuteronomy 6 v 16)

 We digressed a little on my last message but it was important to stress the  vital importance of the truth that Christ was truly God and truly man,hold fast to that truth.So lets continue looking at that occasion when the devil tempted our Lord to cast Himself down from the highest point of the temple.He even quoted scripture,but our Lord didn't obey him, and told why he would not do it,He also quoted scripture, Deut 6 v 16,which reads,'Do not put the Lord your God to the test'.Let me mention  some examples of people putting God to the test. A man wore a blindfold and walked across a busy road,he believed he would be kept safe by God,he wasn't he got knocked down.Another case of a man who got into the lions enclosure with  a bible in his hand,shouting out,''if Daniel was kept safe by God in the lions den, he can keep me safe'', He didn't and the man was mauled by the lions.There are people who are not taken precaution at this time, not waring a mask, not getting vaccinated,they believe God will keep them safe,he won't, we must act in a responsible way at all times,if there is a means of preventing us from catching the virus then we must use it, to do otherwise is doing the very thing our Saviour said we shouldn't do,'putting God to the test'.
