We read the following in Matthew 4,1-4: And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he ( Jesus)was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written,
“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Jesus was quoting Deuteronomy 8:3. What does this tell us immediately? We learn from this that Jesus put a high premium on the Old Testament ( the law and the prophets) or He wouldn’t have been quoting it. But my goal today is to take a closer look at Matthew 4:4, in order to understand what our Lord was teaching us, see video below

My name is Tayib Salami and I started Tayibs.com for the sole purpose of exploring difficult questions about the Christian faith that most of us shy away from. In 2017, I entered a very dark time in my life and it’s only by the grace of the Living God that I’m still alive today. It led me to really go deeper in my faith and consider a myriad of questions that I never thought about asking myself or others before. Welcome and enjoy the ride with me.
