Introduction
Parallel with Deut.
6-8
Both sons are hungry
Both sons are tested by God's design
Jesus' temptation is real
Jesus is the greater King
Remember, Matthew present's Jesus as king
John 12:31 calls Satan the ruler of this world
2 Corinthians 4:4 calls Satan the god of this world
Jesus uses Scripture to defeat temptation
I. Jesus was led by the Spirit to be tempted (4:1)
Tempt can mean "test"
Application: Temptation is not sin and is sometimes the will of God
Is it sin to eat when you are hungary?
Why was this a temptation to sin?
"If you are the Son of God"
This clause sets the theme of Satan's temptation
Not casting doubt but tempting with what He deserves
"command these stones to become loves of bread"
Similar to how the father provided manna to Israel, Satan's temptation to Jesus is to take to role of the Father.
But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”
His answer uses Scripture (Deuteronomy 8:3)
His answer defers to the Father
II.
Jesus submits to the will of the Father (4:2-4)
Jesus is our perfect example of submission to the Father's will
Then the devil took him to the holy city
Jeusalem
and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God,
Again, Satan taunts Jesus Sonship
throw yourself down,
Satan challenges Jesus to jump
for it is written,“ ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and “ ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’
Satan misquotes Psalm 91:11-12
More than a misquote, he misapplies it.
The verses promise protection by angels to those who trust God
” Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’
”
Jesus again uses Scripture to counter Satan's temptation
III.
Jesus is careful to discern the commands of Scripture
Jesus is our perfect example of how to handle Scripture
IV.
Jesus is careful to follows the Father's path
Jesus is our perfect example of how to follow God's revealed will
