text: Looking at the temptations, you will note that Jesus essentially does all the things that Satan asks him to do. Feeding a crowd with five loaves and two fishes is the same as changing stones into bread, but on a grander scale. Instead of throwing himself off the temple and not dying, he goes one better by dying on the cross and refusing to stay dead. Instead of getting the whole world by worshipping Satan, he comes to sit at the right hand of the Father, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
  
  The difference is intention. What Jesus did was in obedience to the Father and in service to humanity, not to further his own desires.
