Commentary on Matthew 4:9
Satan's demand for worship reveals his ultimate goal—usurping God's glory. The audacity of this demand to the incarnate Son shows Satan's delusion and pride. The temptation was to gain the world without the cross, receiving dominion through compromise rather than righteousness. Christ's mission required suffering and death to redeem His people; this temptation offered kingship without atonement, glory without sacrifice.
