Satan an Indirect Tempter as the Corrupter of Our Nature
Matthew 4:1
Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.


Green wood will not burn; dry wood soon takes fire; he then who, although he does not act the part of an incendiary, dries the wood in order that it may the sooner ignite, has a real share in the cause of the conflagration.

(W. H. Hutchings, M. A.)
