The Temptations of Jesus (Part 2)

The Temptations of Jesus (Part 2)
Matthew 4:1-11
Introduction

Jesus is there for you right now, tonight, tomorrow…the rest of your life.

I. The 1st Temptation: Denying God’s Providence

• The Spirit had Led Him into His Circumstance

• Personal Displeasure is Not Proof Against Providence

• The Physical is Important but Must be Properly Prioritized

II. The 2nd Temptation: Deforming God’s Promises

• Satan is Perverting God’s Promise

• The Context of Passages, and Other Passages, are Vitally Important

III. The 3rd Temptation: Disobeying God’s Precepts

• The Aim of All Temptation is Sin Against God

Conclusion

…we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15
