Put on a show to attract attention to yourself was the devil's way. This is the lure of pride. Jesus could have easily made Himself a superstar, a celebrity, and a pop idol. That is the way of the world. It is not God's way.
Celebrity worship is false worship.
It vanishes as soon as the next pop idol appears with new glitz and glamour to capture our worldly attention. Our culture worships those who best indulge the sin of pride. The third temptation for Jesus was presented to Him in the form of a particularly attractive allurement. It is an enticement that has been the downfall of many. It is the desire to be the one with all the power and control.
