// RECAP
Turn in your Bibles to Luke 4
Week 1 - Free to Be Me
It doesn’t matter what others say about you…what does God say about?
First Man (Adam) led us into spiritual chains
Second Man (Jesus) led us into spiritual freedom
we must become of follower of Jesus
we are known as a follower of Jesus by our love for God and others
Week 2 - Living on Prayer
True freedom comes in knowing that you are pleasing God and Him alone
Michaiah stood alone against 400 prophets of Baal when King Ahab wanted a prophecy that would please him.
making the right choice put Michaiah in prison physically, but he was spiritually free
Week 3 - Dirty Grace
1. I’M GLAD I WAS TEMPTED
We met this woman who had committed a sin that deserved death
Jesus response was Grace - He gave her something she didn’t deserve
Jesus instructions to the person that receives is, “Go, and sin no more.”
we aren’t to take advantage of our grace, but instead we repent (turn away from our sin), and live for God alone!
In our final week, we are going to take a look at a significant moment in Jesus history here on Earth.
Pray
1. “I’M GLAD I GOT TEMPTED”
Background:
Jesus is baptized right before He is sent into the desert
During baptism, Jesus is filled with the Holy Spirit
Right after this, the Bible tells us that Jesus is led into the wilderness to be tempted
TEMPTED: peirazō; to make proof of, to attempt, test, tempt:
The idea of Jesus being “tempted” is not fully correct.
It’s better to look at this as a testing of his faith.
Side Note: one of the reasons for jesus going through this time was so that He could identify with us!
How amazing is it that the God of the universe would want to identify, understand, and put Himself in our shoes?
Jesus identified with us in the previous setting as He was baptized
Now, He’s being led into solitude with God to experience this time of testing
the same thing can be seen in the book of Job where God allows Job to be tested, proving to Satan that Job is a righteous man.
Hebrews lays out this concept for us, that Jesus went through this to relate to us...
Temptation is for Everyone
it is the method by which the spiritual maturity in us is tested.
Why Temptation?
the Bible says that the Holy Spirit led Him into this season or time of testing.
clarification: God doesn’t do the testing Himself (), but He can lead to places to be tested.
40 DAYS - this number usually signifies the amount of time God tests or judges
Noah’s Flood - 40 days, 40 nights
Moses was in the dessert for 40 years tending to sheep
Israelites in the dessert - 40 years
This time of testing was a time of forced dependence on God
During this entire time Jesus was being tested - the three examples are just the highlights, and they correlate perfectly with the original temptation that man failed.
Adam’s Fall - Jesus Redemption
Adam’s Fall
good for food (lust of the flesh)
pleasing to the eyes (lust of the eyes)
desired to be wise (pride)
Jesus Redemption
Luke
Lust of the flesh
Lust of the eyes
Satan will promise to give you the things of the world in exchange for the one thing he has always wanted…worship
Pride
Picture of Temple Mount
Satan uses scripture here to incorporate into this temptation - it is important for every child of God to know their Bible personally.
Remember this time of testing was not done in a group, this was just Jesus and the Holy Spirit in the wilderness.
2. THE PLAYBOOKS
Satan’s Plays
Satan appealed to a legitimate desire within Jesus (the desire to eat and survive)
Satan suggested that Jesus fulfill this legitimate desire in an illegitimate way
Satan will promise to get you to the destination faster than God can, but it will never be the full promise of what God offered.
Popularity: you might be elevated in popularity because of how you dress, but your character won’t allow you to stay their long.
Your whole motive was for pride and personal elevation.
Jesus’ Plays
Full of the Spirit
Know & Quote God’s Word
Stay Consistent
The Result
Satan is not stupid; he will not continually put his limited resources into an ineffective battle.
If you want Satan to leave you alone for a while, you must continually resist him.
Many are so attacked because they resist so little.
It’s too easy for the enemy!
Theory: if you’re doing things for God, that’s when the enemy attacks
Theory: the easiest way to defeat an enemy is beat them before they are strong
The enemy loves to steal potential
Satan will kick you while you’re down
Jesus resisted these temptations because He walked in the Word and in the Spirit; these two are the resources for Christian living.
Too much Word and not enough Spirit and you puff up (in the sense of pride).
Too much Spirit and not enough Word and you blow up.
With the Word and the Spirit together, you grow up.
3. PASSING THE TEST
When Jesus did all these things, Satan Left
When Jesus did all these things, Satan Left...
This is the real life example of when James tells us
Jesus showed the only effective counter to deception: GOD’S TRUTH, NOT MAN’S WISDOM
GOD’S TRUTH, NOT MAN’S WISDOM
Picture of Finding Nemo Escape
God will always provide a way for us to endure the test - that doesn’t mean it wont be hard, it just means that we don’t have to fail the test.
Pray
Those in tough situations would find rest in God
Those in tests would rely on God’s Word
Those not in tests would be building up their Word
