The Temptation of Jesus

1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: 10 for it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 11 and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son? 23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 26 but unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 and rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 31 and came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, 34 saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. 39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. 43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. 44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

Satan's Clever Use of Scripture

This December, I am reading through the book of Luke. This morning, as I was reading through Jesus' temptations in the wilderness in chapter 4, I was reminded of Satan's cleverness.

The passage reads:

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where for forty days he was tested by the devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over he was famished. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread.” Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘One does not live by bread alone.’ ” Then the devil led him up and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And the devil said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’ ” Then the devil led him to Jerusalem and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you,' and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’ ” Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ” ~Luke 4:1-12, NRSV

Did you notice how with the last temptation, after observing how Jesus uses scripture to respond to his temptations, Satan then uses scripture himself to trick Jesus into giving in? He was using the very weapon Jesus was using to defend himself. He was taking something holy and good and twisting it into something else -- pretending to be on the same team, but really planning to pounce and destroy.

Of course, Jesus saw right through Satan's clever deception. But how often are we able to see through Satan's ways when we look to scripture for answers? Sometimes the devil disguises his purposes behind what we think is holy and true. I think it often happens when we look to scripture to try to defend our personal, sometimes very selfish, positions instead of humbly coming to scripture with an open heart, willing to be gently rebuked. We take passages out of context and use them to defend our own purposes, instead of acknowledging the true meaning behind them.

My prayer today is that we be careful how we interpret scripture, ESPECIALLY when something sounds off and against God's character. If the devil can use scripture for his purposes to tempt Christ Himself, we need to expect that he's attempting the same with us too.

Restored Honor

Today’s gospel is one that always needs 1st century context. Jesus has just been at synagogue where he cast out an unclean spirit from a man. Then we read, “After Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her. He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and…

What The Temptation of Yeshua Teaches

There is a depth to the story behind Christ's temptation that gets easily overlooked. Very few of us take His direction and relate the story to how we can overcome aspects of ourselves we don't like. Rock with me as we take the journey within.

In the post called Symbolism Calls Us Deeper we discussed the esoteric elements behind Yeshua’s conversation with Nicodemus. Today, I’d like to relate that conversation to our own experience and describe how the Temptation in the desert gives us a playbook on how to overcome the triune elements of our being and realize the Kingdom here and now. Remember: the Kingdom Doctrine directly ties in how…

LUKE S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 4

Monday, 11/14/22

SCRIPTURE:

“I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them,” the devil said, “because they are mine to give to anyone I please."  ...  Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’  ” When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left Him until the next opportunity came.   ~ Luke 4:6,12-13

OBSERVATION:

4:

The enemy even lies to himself... He knew/knows Jesus has - IS - the ultimate authority...

What about me...??? 

What "authority" do I think I have?

12:

How do I (continue) to test Him, His patience...

...His grace???

13:

The enemy is always looking for the next opportunity...

What do I do that regularly gives him those opportunities...???

APPLICATION:

Be aware of the lies I tell myself...

...and that the enemy continually tells me - about myself as well as about what's going on around me...

To that end, be aware of when I'm testing the Lord my God...

...and of the things that give the enemy - the deceiver - opportunities to fail in my walk...

PRAYER:In

Patient Heavenly Father - Please forgive my testing Your patience and grace - for listening to the lies I tell myself about who I am when i know Who's I am and fail to live accordingly... I am grateful and thankful for Your Holy Spirit's presence reminding me that I am Yours, and that because of Jesus's example and sacrifice for me I can come to You in confession and praise and worship... In Jesus's healing and rescuing Name, and for Your glory and honor...

Bundle up and have a joyful week...

Yours in Him...

Technically speaking Cal is the only, living, Jedi who was officially knighted. Yoda implied Luke was a Jedi, but he never knighted him. And Ahsoka and Ezra were Padawan’s who never officially finished there training.

their collective teaching credentials are basically just "haha dude trust me I know what I'm doing for sure"

A Necessary Tuneup

In our gospel from today’s readings, we find a powerful and transformative moment in the life of Jesus. He has returned to his hometown of Nazareth, and on the Sabbath day, he enters the synagogue. As was custom, someone was asked to read. Jesus is handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolls it and begins to read: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to bring glad…
