The Temptation Of Jesus

Comment:
I have been reading this chapter from the bible about Jesus going into the desert for 40 days and 40 nights to be tempted.

Here is one of the bible versions of that part:

The Temptation of Jesus
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. Then the tempter approached him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

He answered, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

Then the devil took him to the holy city, had him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written: He will give his angels orders concerning you, and they will support you with their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”

Jesus told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.”

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. And he said to him, “I will give you all these things if you will fall down and worship me.”

Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.”

Then the devil left him, and angels came and began to serve him.

I honestly don’t know how the average person would know how to interpret these chapters without the Great White Brotherhood helping us understand it.

I don’t think that I can completely translate each instance that is being described, but from what the GWB tell us, this is the depiction of what it is like for people to enter into the space where one is tested and to come out the other side as a human archangel.

Whether these specific things are items that Jesus had to consider and reject, who knows.

Reply:
From what I got from how the Great White Brotherhood described it, we have to struggle in this desert place until we realize that we have no personality left.

Once we can get rid of the last vestiges of whatever personality we have left, then, and only then, can that void be filled with the grace of God.

This implies that God has no personality, only pure love.

Once we are filled with pure love for all life, we have passed the test.
So, then we are on a par with God.
