Never! As God’s only son, he was perfect and never made any mistakes. He was kind and humble. He didn’t brag about himself or his accomplishments. He didn’t bully anybody or make fun of anyone. He loved ALL people, and performed many miracles to help others.
Jesus never sinned, even after Satan tempted him to sin three times.
Matthew (4:1-11) tells us that for 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, Jesus didn’t eat, so he was very hungry. Satan knew Jesus was physically weak, so he thought he could finally get Jesus to sin.
Satan told Jesus, if you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread. Jesus knew this would be a misuse of the power God had given him. So Jesus answered, "It is written: “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Jesus meant that people had to eat food to live, but it’s just as important that we feed on God’s word – to study and to obey it.
Next, Satan took Jesus to the highest point of the temple and told him to jump off and God’s angels would save him. Jesus answered Satan, “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” Jesus knew it would be wrong to tempt God by selfishly expecting God to save him if he made such a foolish, risky, and unnecessary choice.
Finally, Satan took Jesus to a very high mountain, and as they looked down at all of the powerful kingdoms on the earth, Satan told Jesus he would give him all of these kingdoms if he would just bow down and serve him instead of God. Jesus answered Satan firmly to go away, saying, “You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”
Even though we are not perfect like Jesus, we should still try to be like him.
So, did Jesus ever do anything wrong? No, he didn’t – we are grateful for his perfect example!
