THE TEMPTATIONS OF THE LORD JESUS

1. The word “temptation”

a. It may simply mean “testing”.
b. It may indeed be called a “temptation”.
i. If one is encouraged to do wrong.
ii. It could lead to sin.

2. The Devil himself attempts to cause the Lord Jesus to do wrong

a. He chose three things to tempt the Lord Jesus with.
b. Many, if not all, would fall because of these temptations.
c. How did the Lord Jesus cope with these temptations?

THE FIRST TEMPTATION

1. The Devil cunningly chose when to tempt the Lord Jesus

a. The Lord Jesus had entered into a fast that lasted forty days and nights.
b. Naturally, He would be very hungry after the long fast.

2. The words of Temptation

a. “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread” (Luke 4:3).
b. The Devil was not expressing doubts that the Lord Jesus was the Son of God.
c. He was making the following suggestions:
i. He was the Son of God and obviously, He would have power.
ii. Why not use this power for Himself.
iii. He was hungry and He could easily turn a stone into bread.
d. He made it sound like it was a temptation.

THE RESPONSE OF THE LORD JESUS

1. The Lord Jesus saw through the words of Temptation.

2. What enabled Him to see through the Devil’s temptation?

a. The filling of the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:22; 4:1).
i. The Spirit was with the Lord Jesus.
ii. He was in Him too.
iii. He filled His life.
b. The Word of God (Luke 4:4)
i. “It is written.”
This is a reference to the Scriptures.
ii. “Man shall not live by bread alone.”
One does not live to eat! Food is not everything, even if one is very hungry.
iii. “But by every word of God.”
The word of God did not teach the Lord Jesus to use His power for Himself. There is power from God but it was to be utilised to help people.

OUR CHALLENGE

1. To seek to be filled with Holy Spirit.

2. To read and understand God’s word and how it applies in our life.

3. To desire to obey the Lord and the Scriptures He has given us to read.

经文：路加福音 4：1-4

耶稣受试探

1. “试探”这词

a. 这指的可仅是“测试”
b. 确实可称为“试探”
i. 若受促使去犯错
ii. 这可导致犯罪

2. 魔鬼亲自试图使主耶稣犯错

a. 它选择了三件事来试探主耶稣
b. 许多人必定会因这些试探而跌倒
c. 主耶稣如何克服这些试探？

第一次试探

1. 魔鬼狡猾地选择试探主耶稣的时机

a. 主耶稣禁食了四十昼夜
b. 这段时间禁食之后，自然会觉得饿

2. 诱惑的话

a. “你若是神的儿子，可以吩咐这块石头变成食物！” 《路加福音 4：3》
b. 魔鬼并不是在怀疑主耶稣是否是上帝的儿子
c. 它提出以下建议：
i. 他是上帝的儿子，所以明显地，会有能力
ii. 为何不把能力用在自己身上
iii. 祂肚子饿了，因此可以轻易地把石头变成食物
d. 它表示的方式似乎是在试探

主耶稣的回应

1. 主耶稣看透了试探的话

2. 是什么使祂看穿了魔鬼的试探？

a. 圣灵的充满《路加福音 3：22；4：1》
i. 圣灵与主耶稣同在
ii. 祂也在祂里面
iii. 祂充满了祂的生命
b. 上帝的话《路加福音 4：4》
i. “经上记着说”
这指的是经文
ii. “人活着不是单靠食物”
人活着不是为了吃！即使饿了，食物并不是一切
iii. “乃是靠神口里所出的一切话”
上帝的话并没有教导主耶稣把能力用在自己的身上。来自上帝的能力必须用来帮助别人。

我们的挑战

1. 寻求被圣灵充满

2. 阅读并理解上帝的话语，学习如何在生活中运用

3. 渴慕并顺从上帝和祂所赐给我们的经文
