Here's some more notes and some reflections about the temptation of Jesus.  Hope they are helpful.

Luke 4:6 (NKJV)

⁶And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

και ειπεν αυτω ο διαβολος σοι δωσω την εξουσιαν ταυτην απασαν και την δοξαν αυτων οτι εμοι παραδεδοται και ω εαν θελω διδωμι αυτην

Luke 4:7 (NKJV)

⁷Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”

συ ουν εαν προσκυνησης ενωπιον μου εσται σου παντα

προσκυνέω  From G4314 (these notations are from Strong's Concordance) and probably a derivative of G2965 (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) -prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): - worship.

G4314 is the prefix the means "before", G2965 is the Greek word for "dog."

We find in this word a rather unflattering view of ourselves as worshippers.  We lower and humble ourselves before the one who is worshipped as a dog who licks the hand of his master.  It's an affront to my pride and self-respect.  Satan dares to ask this of Jesus who is infinitely his master, but what of us when we worship God in the name of Jesus Christ?  The only other time this particular word for "worship" is used is in a parallel account if the temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4:9, so apparently it is not used to describe Christians worshipping God.  But while I suspect the Father has no interest in debasing or humiliating worshippers the point is probably still that it is appropriate that we humble ourselves in worship; that we recognize how infinitely superior our God is compared to us, that is, if we consider ourselves at all.

Luke 4:8 (NKJV)

⁸And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”

A quote of Deuteronomy 6:13

Tuesday, May 31, 2016-I find the audacity of this amazing.  Satan offers Jesus the kingdoms of the world if He will worship Satan.  Satan gained these kingdoms from Adam and Eve by means of temptation.  That dominion was delegated to them by the Lord in the first place.   (Genesis 1-2, particularly 1:28-29)

            There's was a movie that made me curious because it involved a family of devout pilgrims in New England of 1630.  I didn't want to pay for it so I looked up the synopsis on wikipedia.org and then watched some film clips as I could find on youtube.  I do not recommend this film.  While instructive as I reflected on this passage, about worship and temptation, it is not edifying or encouraging. but rather very dark and disturbing.  It apparently has been endorsed by the Church of Satan, though I doubt the film's producers sought that endorsement.  If you didn't like "Rosemary's Baby" you're going to hate this film.  The family leaves the village to start a new farm near the edge of a forest, not knowing that a witch is nearby.  The witch is as vicious a creature as the early New Englanders envisioned her to be, and the family suffers one terrible disaster after another, the last one being the worst of all.  The only value I found from looking  at this was that it showed me that all temptation is dangerous, for even the seemingly innocuous ones lead eventually to the same terrible result.  It shows how dark and terrible is this temptation that Satan dares to present to Jesus. 

It also shows me that worship is a far more serious business that we humans consider it to be, though that is something people have known for a long time.
