One of the Natural Laws is the Law
of Gravity. This law, just like the other Natural Laws cannot be circumvented
and that was why when the Tempter suggested that Christ should jump down from
the pinnacle of the Temple to prove that He was the Son of God, Jesus refused. Jesus
knew that this Law of Gravity cannot be annulled for Him or for anyone else for
that matter!
Throwing Himself down from the
temple top unaided would be a flagrant defiance of the Natural Law of Gravity which
is capable of causing bodily injury to Jesus thus producing an embarrassing
occurrence that could have harmed His Mission. That was obviously the aim of
that temptation.
We as creatures should take a serious
lesson from this occurrence and never allow our vanity and praise singers push
us into the abyss of destruction. When sinners entice us, we should not agree
to their suggestions or advise. Let us always seek for clarity in all matters
and pray that it be given to us to act in the way pleasing to our Maker. This
is the way to lead our lives in a way that brings us nothing but peace and
happiness.
