THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
JESl'S TEMPTED.
Oct. 22, 1922. Luke 4:1-30.
All temptations to evil come from
the devil, and he is no respecter of
persons. It is said that "death loves
a shining mark." It is cortain loves
a shining mark at which to hurl
his darts of temptation. The higher
a soul stands in the favor of
God, tire greater is his desire to p?il\
it down into the mire of sin an ' the
olough of despond.
There are two reasons why Satan
tempts men. The one is thit he wants
to destroy their souls by keeping
them away from Christ. If they have
pccepted Christ, he knows th.it he
cannot destroy their souls, so he tries
lo destroy their influence for God.
Satan knew enough to know some
thing of what Christ's coming t.o earth
meant. He had very largely had con
trol of the world, but Jesus had come
to overthrow his power. If he could
destroy Him, or bring Him into dip
favor with God, Satan felt that his
kingdom would be secure. So ho
came in person to make tire attack
upon Him. We should nover forget
that Satan is a real person, that he
is far wiser and more powerful than
any other being that we have to do
with, save God alone.
It is very unfortunate that there
is a class of writers, among whom
are some of the popular expositors
of the Sunday school lessons, who
teach that the temptations of the Sa
viour were merely mental suggestions
that came to Him during the time of
His retirement in the wilderness. It
should be remembered that this ac
count of His temptations must have
been given to the disciples by Jesus
Himself or by the Holy Spirit. In
either case, what was said must have
been true. When He said it was
Satan, we must accept that statement,
or else accuse Him either of ignor
ance or of falsehood.
Whether these three temptations
were scattered through the forty day*
or came as the conclusion of a long
series that had run through all of
those days, we cannot tell. In what
form Satan appeared we do not know,
and it does not matter.
It Is to be noticed that in these
temptations there is nothing that may
be considered as open or outbreaking
fwV The 8,n Was so covered over
that many a man under the same cir
cumstances would probably not have
seen It.
Jesus was hungry. It was natural
and proper that He should satisfy His
hunger Satan tried to make Him
use divine power, not primarily for
Tw f??d' bUt merely to show
hat He was the Son of God. Jesus
never used His divine power for His
rvLreV0r mer6,y t0 prove HI.
Inity. Had He been willing to
show more "signs," no doubt He could
have had larger crowds following Him
through all His ministry.
The devil took Jesus up to the top
of a high mountain, and "showed
r? """ a" the W?I*??n. of the
world in a moment of time." How
this could be done we do not know.
__ 8 U8e,ess to speculate. With
His infinite knowledge and omnipres

whole world. Satan was shrewd In
