THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS
LESSON TEXT— Matthew 4:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT— For we have not an high
priest which cannot be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities; but was in all
points tempted like as we ore. yet without
sin.—Hebrews 4:15.
Temptation is the common lot of
all mankind (I Cor. 10:13). The
strongest and most noble of men i
are subject to it; angels were j
tempted, and our scripture reveals
that even Jesus was tempted. We ]
recognize that Jesus was tempted
as the Messiah (vv. 3,6) and as one
without sin (Ileb. 4:15), but it is
also true that He was tempted in
all points as w'e are, apart from sin,
and that we may learn from His
temptation how we may meet and
be the victors over temptation.
1. What Is Temptation?
“Temptation is seduction to evil,
solicitation to wrong. It stands dis
tinguished from trial thus: trial
tests, seeks to discover the man’s
moral qualities or character; but j
temptation persuades to evil, de
ludes, that it may ruin. God tries;
Satan tempts’’ (A. M. Fairbairn).
Temptation is not sin, but yielding
to temptation is sin. Luther said,
“We cannot keep the birds from
flying over our heads, but we can
keep them from building nests in
our hair.” Temptation comes from
within, that is, from our own lusts
; (James 1:13, 14). Satan also tempts
l us (Eph. G; 11). God may permit
temptation as a means of proving
our faith (James 1:2, 3).
11. How Temptation Works.
It is significant that the tempta
tions of Jesus were along the three- I
fold line of the temptations of Adam
and Eve (Gen. 3:6) and the general
threefold temptation of all men,
namely, the lust of the flesh, the
pride of life, and the lust of the
eyes (I John 2: 1G). These three
temptations really exhaust Satan’s
bag of tricks, but he can dress up
tl tl fundamental tempta
tions with almost endless variety.
He works .
1. By appealing to the fiesh (vv.
2,3). lie observes the normal ap-
I'f'tiles and desires of a man’s body,
excites them to a high degree, and
then suggests an improper method
of satisfying them. Hunger is nor
mal and a sign of good health.
Jesus had fasted forty days and
Satan took advantage of that fact to j
suggest the use of His divine power !
to : atisfy li is hunger. This would '
involve u denial of llis entire mis
sion on earth, namely, the redemp
tion of man by a divine person who
had become a real man.
2. By appealing to pride (vv. 5,
6), Satan misapplied Scripture to
tempt Jesus to presumption on the j
assumption that He was exercising
God had promised to keep
Him “in all his ways” (Ps. 91:11).
To cast himself down from the tem
ple was not one of the ways in
which Christ was called to walk.
Satan comes to us with the same
kind of temptation. If He cannot
get uk to forsake faith, he tempts
us to become fanatic and to proudly
sul slitute presumption for faith.
3. By appealing to the eyes (vv.
(!, 9). By showing Christ the king
dom..; of the world and offering them
to Him by the short-cut of a brief
! act of worship rather than by the
1 way of the cross, Satan tempted
! Him :•! ;in. Here the devil showed
i lbs true derive that man should wor
i ship him rather than God.
HI. Low to Meet Temptation (vv.
i 4,7, 10).
1. By the right use of Scripture.
1 If Jems needed that weapon, how
ran we do without it? How can wo
i ■ S ripture if we do not study it
nr 1 I; ’a it in our hearts?
2. by dependence on God. Every
I Scripture used by Jesus honored
| God. Wo cannot tight Satan in our
own strength. To attempt to do so
j is to fail utterly. The real victory
1 for the Christian is to bring Satan
; back to the cross where Christ won
a decisive victory over him.
3. By denouncing Satan. Jesus j
sent him m his way. We may do
the same in Jesus’ name. It is al
; ways a serious error to try to argue
| with Satan or to engage in any dis
| cussion with him. Let us meet him
; with Scripture and with a “Get thee
hence.”
IV. Tie Result.
Satan left and angels came to
minmlcr to Christ. The overcom- !
ing of temptation results in peace, j
victory, and blessing. This is ever
so in the life of the believer. Temp
tation overcome makes us stronger j
to meet the next temptation, and
also enables us to help our weaker
brethren.
Framing Our Lives
Religion does not consist in the ■
i performance of certain ceremonial
acts at specified times, outside
which acts and times it has no
place: but consists in framing our ,
whole life, and all our acts, upon a '
, distinct view of our position as ere- j
ated beings, charged by the fact of
our creation, with duties both to our
fellow creatures and to our Creator.
