Servant or Conqueror?
Jesus rejected Satan’s offer of unlimited political power and instead chose the way of the Suffering Servant and an unjust death - Matthew 4:8-11 . Satan tempted Jesus by offering him political power over “ all the kingdoms of the world ,” but he refused the Devil’s seductive offer. Instead, the Nazarene submitted to the way of the ‘ Suffering Servant of Yahweh ’ that led to his inevitable death on the Roman Cross.
