I'd always thought in my mind that Satan tempted Jesus because he wanted to break him. Just like Satan did in the garden to us, he was going to try and do to Jesus.
But the guy on the radio tells a story about when he was a kid growing up in his country town, a railroad bridge was built, and, after it was done, they brought like a hundred locomotives all whistling and blowing their horns onto the bridge - never heard such racket.
Somebody asked, "what y'all doing, trying to break the bridge?" They replied, "no, we're trying to prove you CAN'T break it."
Satan was given permission to tempt Jesus to show... he couldn't break him! And ofcourse, I immediately thought how weak I am.
I'm so weak.
