Matthew 4:1-11

1Then was Jesus led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry.

3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

5Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,

6And said unto him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and in their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.

7Jesus said unto him, It is written again, You shall not test the Lord your God.

8Again, the devil took him up into an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9And said unto him, All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.

10Then said Jesus unto him, Begone, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

11Then the devil left him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

 *To prove the LORD Jesus Christ His Son sinless a wordy redeemer.

*LORD Jesus Christ baptism is His personal identification with lost humanity which identified Him with us in our testing and trials.

Hebrews 2:17-18

17Therefore in all things he had to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

18For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help them that are tempted.

John 1:14

14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

LORD Jesus fully understands and experienced the pressure from Satan. GOD purpose was to demonstrate His sinless condition and for us to know we have a friend and He knows how we feel.

Attack on GOD’s redemption plan. Isaiah 14 Satan wanted to become like GOD.

We have a new nature but we still live in body.

Always respond in obedience to GOD’s Word.

All temptation has a set divine limit. GOD is involved in my temptation I can trust Him, He is faithful.
