Matthew: Jesus’ Birth & Early Ministry — Temptation in the Wilderness — Choices & Temptation Comic Strip

Explore Matthew 4:1–11 with this engaging No Prep Bible lesson for Grades 6–8. Students follow Jesus into the wilderness as he faces three powerful temptations and responds to each one with Scripture. They examine what each temptation tests, how Jesus responds, and what his choices reveal about trust, obedience, and reliance on God’s Word.

Students then work together to create a Choices & Temptation Comic Strip, illustrating the three temptations, Jesus’ responses, and a modern-day connection showing how his example can guide difficult choices.
