Temptations of Jesus

Temptation of Jesus	Israel	Church	Us
Matthew 4:3 Stones to loaves (selfishness)	Grumbling in the desert (e.g. Exodus 16:3, 17:3)	Inward looking	Fleshly desires
Matthew 4:6 throw yourself down (forcing God's hand, testing God)	Ark sent into battle, asking to die at Rephidim (Exodus 17:7)	Miracles treated like magic tricks	Sensationalism
Matthew 4:9 worship me (paganism, idolatry)	Worshipping the Golden Calf (Exodus 32), Baals	Worldliness, compromise	Desire for power

In each case in the left-hand two columns above, the temptation was followed by a vivid demonstration of God's power.
