Jesus response was, Worship the Lord your God and serve only him. Even though he was the Son of God, he knew it was God alone who was worthy of worship. Sometimes we look for shortcuts to spirituality. We want heaven, but not the walk through the desert. But following Jesus means worshiping him only.
People today worship a variety of gods , putting their trust in the world.
God may, or may not, get an hour of their time on Sunday morning, but then he is not the one they are really worship anyway. Temptation causes us to worship someone or something other than God . The third temptation is a ploy to get Jesus to test God s reliability. After all, if God really cares about Jesus, he will rescue him. Jesus replies, Do not put the Lord your God to the test.
