Greetings in Christ, Welcome to worship. We continue our study of the Gospel of Luke. Our focus today is Jesus’ 40 days of fasting and tempting in the wilderness, immediately following his baptism by John (Luke 4: 1-14). While today’s examines the temptations of Jesus, I have chosen to share a few observations about temptations in general. First, it is not a sin to be tempted. Jesus was tempted and yet he did not sin (Hebrews 4:15). Secondly, there is no such thing as a temptation that is too strong to resists. That is just an excuse we make for ourselves. The truth is that God has promised that no one will ever be tempted beyond their ability to withstand (1 Corinthians 10:13). We are not left to our own devises in times of temptations. The Holy Spirit empowers us, if we are willing to avail ourselves to God rather than our own desires (Philippians 2:13). It is not difficult to be self-deceived regarding our spiritual state and relationship with God in Christ. What we do in times of temptation reveals to us something about our own hearts (James 1:12-16). The bible instructs us about abundant life. It is a resource to teach, rebuke, encourage, challenge and strengthen us if we would avail ourselves to it (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Proverbs 3:5-6). Temptations and tests are not the same. They have different sources and are pointed at different aims. Studying Jesus’ date with the Devil in the wilderness offers some insight into how we can manage our own dates with the devil in our wilderness. May God add God’s blessing to our time of worship together. Let us worship God, K.O. Noonoo 2 Easter Lilies: On Easter Sunday we have a tradition of displaying Easter lilies in memory of loved ones.
