Matthew 4:2–"And after fasting forty days and forty nights, and He was hungry."
Talk about the understatement of understatements: He was hungry. I can barely make it past lunch before I'm starving. Jesus goes forty days and forty nights. And then, it says, He was hungry. It is at this point in the story, when Jesus is exhausted and hungry that Satan comes to tempt Him.
You see, Jesus was like us. He got tired like us, He got thirsty like us, and He got hungry like us. But unlike us, He never sinned in His exhaustion, never strayed in His thirst, and never let His stomach distract from His devotion.
Jesus is our example. Let us try to be like Him when we're hungry!
