THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS

 

Luke 4:1-13 / Keywords 4:4

THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS

 

1. Man does not live on bread alone (1-4)

Jesus was ready to begin his mission life. The Holy Spirit led him into the desert

where he fasted and prayed. Jesus was tired and hungry. Satan tempted him to

use his power to make bread. Jesus knew who he was and what he must do and

say (whether tired or hungry): Man does not live on bread alone (4).

 

2. Worship the Lord your God only (5-8)

Satan promised Jesus all the authority and splendor of worldly kingdoms. It

could be intoxicating. But Jesus did not come to have worldly authority and glory.

He came to be the Savior through the cross and suffering. He was clear: Worship

the Lord your God and serve him only (8).

 

3. Dont test God (9-13)

Satan wised up and used Scripture to tempt Jesus. He coaxed Jesus to test

Gods love and power in a rash way. Jesus trusted God. He said, Do not put the

Lord your God to the test (12).

 

Prayer Lord, your word has power to overcome all temptation. Strengthen me in

your word. Use me to serve you only in your redemptive work.

One Word Overcome temptation with the word of God
