In Luke 4 we have Jesus in the wilderness being tempted by Satan. As I read this today, something caught my attention. One of Satan's "offers" was the "kingdoms of the world".
vs 7 "if you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours."
Jesus had a choice here, and I think we often jump over this without really thinking it through.
Choice #1 - power, wealth, possessions, fame, etc.....
Choice #2 - loneliness, abuse, pain, death, persecution, etc....
I wonder if we were given this same choice, how many of us would choose #1. Or sometimes I wonder if in a sense we already have.
