but not only that, he plays on our pride.
And that's what he's trying to do to Jesus.
Well, if you're the son of God,
then you should be able to do this.
Trying to tap into Jesus' pride where,
oh, I'll show you, I'm gonna show him.
Think about how that goes with peer pressure.
Isn't that how a lot of children, hopefully just children,
hopefully adults, have become more wise
to where they don't fall for this as adults.
Some adults even fall for this.
But children are really susceptible to peer pressure.
And listen up children, because when children
get around their friends, they really want to be cool,
and they really want to fit in.
And what is that if it's not pride?
Pride, you know, you want to be the coolest guy,
and you want to be the one that everybody thinks
is so hip and cool, and what does peer pressure do?
It taps into that, and basically will try to get you
to do things that are wrong.
You know, whether it's drinking, whether it's drugs,
like, oh, come on, and what's the most common taunt
that comes on the playground when people are trying
to get you to do something wrong?
What, are you scared?
Are you chicken?
You know, it's almost like what the devil's saying.
Jesus, what are you saying?
Hey, jump off the pinnacle of the temple, Jesus.
What, are you scared?
Are you chicken?
And listen, kids, you need to be careful,
because a lot of people will try to taunt you
into doing a lot of stupid things,
and that's what they're gonna say.
Like, you're scared.
You're just chicken.
You're just afraid to do it.
Think about all the things that are under that canopy,
whether it's shoplifting.
Oh, you're just scared to take.
You're just afraid.
Or just getting people to do things like drinking, drugs,
you know, or fornication, or what, you know.
Oh, you just don't have the guts.
You're just scared.
This is something that's very common amongst children.
