Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Put a burning match to tinder or gunpowder, and it will kindle presently; but put it to water, and it will quench it straight: so it fareth in temptations. Our corrupt hearts, like tinder, do easily suffer corruption to kindle in us; but Christ's most holy heart did presently quench the evil of Satan's motions. And thus we see how Christ was tempted, and yet without sin. (W. Perkins, D. D.)
