Luke 4:5–7 (NKJV): 5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And 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. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
Scripture says the devil was a liar from the beginning, and is the father of lies (John 8:44), but how do we know that Satan was lying to Jesus? Scripture also plainly states that man should not love the world or anything in it (John 2:15).
The point isn't to determine if Satan was lying to Jesus about his authority to give the world to whom he pleased, rather to wonder whom he gave the world if he did have such authority.
Thoughts?
