Temptation Introduction The three biggest factors in our temptation: The world The flesh The devil

Temptation Introduction The three biggest factors in our temptation: The world The flesh The devil Now on to Jesus.

Temptation Introduction When Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit descended on him. (Luke 3:22) After that, full of the Holy Spirit, he was led by the Spirit in the wilderness. (Luke 4:1) This time lasted for forty days during which he was tempted by the devil. (Luke 4:2)

Temptation Introduction As we examine this story in Luke 4, we will ask ourselves three things.

Temptation Introduction As we examine this story in Luke 4, we will ask ourselves three things. 1. James 1:13 says, God cannot be tempted with evil. How then could Jesus, being God, be tempted at all?

Temptation Introduction As we examine this story in Luke 4, we will ask ourselves three things. 1. James 1:13 says, God cannot be tempted with evil. How then could Jesus, being God, be tempted at all? 2. What did Christ s temptation accomplish? 3. What is the relationship between Christ s experience of temptation and our own?

Temptation Luke 4:1-15

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Note from these very first verses: 1. Temptation comes to Jesus when he is full of the Holy Spirit, and led by the Spirit. when he was spiritually strong. 2. Temptation comes also after he fasted for forty days and he was hungry. when he was physically weak.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Temptation can come at any time. We should never assume we cannot be tempted. The element of surprise is one of the great principles of spiritual warfare that the devil uses against the saints.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 One of the strongest weapons of offensive warfare is the surprise attack. The closer we come to it, the more fortunate we shall be. The unexpected element which the defender creates through secret preparations and through the concealed disposition of his troops, can be counterbalanced on the part of the aggressor only by a surprise attack. Carl von Clausewitz, Prussian General (1780 1831)

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Temptation 1: Command this stone to become bread.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Temptation 1: Command this stone to become bread. Since Jesus was hungry this would have appealed to the natural desire of his flesh. Jesus answers with Deuteronomy 8:3.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Question 1: How could Jesus, being God, even be tempted?

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Question 1: How could Jesus, being God, even be tempted? He was also completely human and was tempted as such. He was not half God and half human. He was not a blending of God and humanity a third type of being altogether. He was truly God, and he was a true human being, while remaining one Person.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Temptation 2: The devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Temptation 2: The devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world This was a direct appeal to the world. Jesus was no doubt aware that he was destined to rule all these kingdoms, but he also knew that was after the cross. Jesus resisted by quoting Deuteronomy 6:13.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Question 2: What did Christ s temptation accomplish?

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Question 2: What did Christ s temptation accomplish? Christ s resistance to the devil s enticements allowed him to experience the full weight of temptation and win. He experienced it as a true human being, meaning that he thoroughly knows what we go through. This perfectly prepared him to act as a high priest for us.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Hebrews 4:14-16 (ESV) 14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Temptation 3: If you are the Son of God, [paraphrase] perform this astounding, but pointless, stunt which, by the way, may kill you.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Temptation 3: If you are the Son of God, [paraphrase] perform this astounding, but pointless, stunt which, by the way, may kill you. The devil added a quote from Psalm 91:11-12 to make the deception sound spiritual. Not all use of the Bible is biblical! Jesus countered it by sensibly quoting Deuteronomy 6:16.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 On all three occasions Jesus countered the temptation by quoting from Deuteronomy and in fact from the restricted area between 6:13 and 8:3, chapters that refer to the wilderness experiences of Israel It may well be that Jesus had given a lot of thought to these passages as he reflected on the mission to which God was calling him He was one with the people of God. Leon Morris

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Adam fell to temptation when he was in paradise in a perfect environment where he had all he would ever need. Jesus resisted temptation in the wilderness in a stark environment after fasting for forty days. Strengthened only by God s Spirit and armed only with God s Word, Jesus emerged from the wilderness victorious.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Question 3: What is the relationship between Christ s experience of temptation and our own?

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Question 3: What is the relationship between Christ s experience of temptation and our own? Christ allowed himself to be tempted as a human and countered with means now available to us in Christ. In so doing, he shows us that we also can learn to have victory over temptation.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Question 3: What is the relationship between Christ s experience of temptation and our own? Like Jesus, however, we have to be well-equipped with God s Word or the devil will deceive us. We also have to rely on the power of the Spirit, because we will not defeat the devil in our own strength.

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Ah, dear brethren, if our Lord Jesus needed the power of the Spirit, how much more do you and I need it! We have no power of our own, but he was the Son of God. He was a divine Teacher, and yet, when he went to his work, it was in the power of the Spirit. Tarry, brother, till you have that power; it is of no use for you to go without it. Charles Spurgeon 1834 1892

Temptation Luke 4:1-15 Ephesians 2:1-3 (NKJV) And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

Temptation Conclusions

Temptation Conclusions Earlier, we said we would ask ourselves three things. 1. James 1:13 says, God cannot be tempted with evil. How could Jesus, being God, be tempted at all? 2. What did Christ s temptation accomplish? 3. What is the relationship between Christ s experience of temptation and our own?

Temptation Conclusions Question 1: How could Jesus, being God, be tempted at all? He was also completely human and was tempted as such. He was not half God and half human. He was not a blending of God and humanity a third type of being altogether. He was truly God, and he was a true human being, while remaining one Person.

Temptation Conclusions Question 2: What did Christ s temptation accomplish? Christ s resistance to the devil s enticements allowed him to experience the full weight of temptation and win. He experienced it as a true human being, meaning that he thoroughly knows what we go through. This perfectly prepared him to act as a high priest for us.

Temptation Conclusions Question 3: What is the relationship between Christ s experience of temptation and our own? Christ allowed himself to be tempted as a human and countered with means now available to us in Christ. In so doing, he shows us that we also can learn to have victory over temptation.

Like Jesus, however, we have to be well-equipped with God s Word or the devil will deceive us. We also have to rely on the power of the Spirit, because we will not defeat the devil in our own strength.

Temptation Conclusions Closing exercise: As we get ready to take communion, ask the Lord to reveal three areas in which the devil continuously tempts or deceives you. Pray that the Holy Spirit will alert you to these attacks when they come. Pray this repeatedly throughout this week. More insight may come later than you receive right now.
