About the cover: It is an ironic offer from the devil: to give Jesus all the kingdoms of the world. Here stand the very Son of God, through whom the whole world was created. Jesus has come to wrest the world from Satan's tyranny. He is doing this on His terms not by abandoning the Father but by remaining obedient- all the way to the point of death, even death on the cross (Philippians 2:8). When we face temptations, we know that that the temper's power has been gutted and that “one little word can fill him” (LSB 656: 3)
