\u201cWho are you,\u201d they asked in a less than gracious tone.

Jesus had been in the temple area since early morning teaching a large gathering of people who had come to hear His words.

A group of religious leaders brought an adulterous woman into the middle of the crowd, right before him and said, \u201cThe Law of Moses says stone her.

What do you say?\u201d

They were not seeking counsel but an opportunity to impugn His character and His teaching.

Jesus turned the tables on his accusers. \u201cYou, who are without sin, cast the first stone.\u201d

Indignant and offended by His tone, convicted in their own heart, the men who had brought the woman slithered away one by one.

The woman remained before Him; no doubt humiliated, maybe very angry at the men and at the crowd around her.

Jesus looked at her with eyes of love, mercy and grace.\xa0\u201cWhere are those who accuse you? Is someone condemning you,\u201d Jesus asked? \u201cNo one,\u201d she answered. \u201cNeither do I condemn you,\u201d He answered, \u201cGo and sin no more.\u201d

Ah, there you have the great question that Lucifer has used for millennia to gain an entrance and establish a foothold in a person\u2019s life.

He used that strategy on Jesus when was in the wilderness forty days fasting and praying.

The Lord was preparing Himself spiritually for the next three years of public ministry.

Satan came on the last day seeking opportunity to stop the advance of God\u2019s Kingdom.\xa0 \u201cIf you are the Son of God,\u201d he challenged the one born in Bethlehem\u2019s stable.

When Jesus parried His attacker with \u201cIt is written\u2026\u201d

The Devil resumed the offense with, \u201cIf you are the Son of God\u2026\u201d

Jesus again parried His attacker with, \u201cIt is also written\u2026\u201d

Satan made a counter move with a more subtle attack on Jesus true identity, \u201cAll these things I will give You if You fall down and worship me.\u201d
