approach to the lesson why was jesus tempted and be ing tempted wjj there a possibil ity that he might have sinned and so jeopardized or annulled the whole pian of redemption these are questions asked often and it behooves u- to be abie to give scriptural answers if we would be clear in our thinking as fi this we must remember that while our lord was and is both human and divine he is not two persons but one personally he is god the eternal son who took humanity into union with his deity in order to redeem sinful men he has therefore two natures the divine and the human but he remains just one person herefore as man here on earth he could act apart from his deity those who main tain that he might have sinned may well ask themselves what then would have been the result to say that a man he might have failed in his mission is to admit the amazing and blasphemous suggestion that his holy divine nature could become separated from a defiled human nature and so the incarnation proves a farce and a mockery but if we realize that he who was both god and man in one person was tempted not to see if he would or could sin but to prove that he was the sinless one all is clear the temp tation was real but it was from without as adams was in the beginning but adam was only an innocent man whereas jesus the last adam was the lord from heaven who had become man without ceasing to be god in order that he might be our kinsman- redeemer lev 25 4s the temptation and his attitude to ward it proved that he was not a sinful man either in nature or in act and he could therefore take our penalty upon himself and bear the curse of the broken law for others because eh was not under that curse himself scripture tells us definitely that he knew no sin 2 cor 521 he did no sin 1 pet 222 in him is no sin 1 john 35 he could say the prince of this world cometh and hath nothing in me john 1430 there was no lurking traitor with in to answer to the voice of the enemy without he was tempted as we are sin apart heb 4 15 lit that is there was no sin within to tempt him from the moment of his birth he was holy not merely innocent luke 135 topsyturvy weather across canada varying from unseason

will ever be able to talk the world into a state of peace the historical setting the temptation of jesus took place if we may trust tradition on mt quarantania west of the jordan across from jericho a very forbidding and desolate wilderness it followed his baptism almost immediately in the early part of ad 27 shortly before the pass over verse by verse luke 4 1 jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness as the perfect man jesus was ever subject to the spirits control mark tells us the spirit drove him into the wilderness mark 112 he was impelled to go for it was imperative that his holiness be demonstrated from the very begin ning of his ministry temptation is really testing he was tested by satan that evil personality who is the foe of god and man it was he who tested the first adam and found him wanting now he must needs be overcome by the second adam verse 2 being forty days tempted of the devil forty is the number of testing and probation consider israels testing for forty years in the wilderness elijahs forty days of trial ninevehs forty days of probation and the like so jesus was tested for the full period of forty days the supreme test- coming at the close verse 3 if thou be the son of god every test was a direct assault upon the truth of his sooooooooooooooooi stouffville machine tool works telephone 253 rear of cnr station electric and acetylene

be nothing inher ently wrong for jesus to satisfy his hunger by making bread from stones but he had taken the place as man of dependence on the living father john i57 as such he acted only in obedience to the fathers will and he could not entertain any suggestion coming from another and an opposing source he would not act even to relieve his hunger upon the enemys advice verse 4 man shall not live by bread alone jesus met each temp tation with a definite word from god a quotation from the holy scriptures in this instance he quoted deuteronomy 8 3 where moses reminded israel that of far more importance than material food was the spiritual nourishment that is found in the word of god verse 5 the devil shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time it was the appeal to the lust or desire of the eye as the first liad been to the lust of the flesh note that luke gives the moral order of these three temptations while matthew apparently presents them chronologically verse 0 all this power 1 will give thee satan presumes to have all authority because men own him as the prince and god of this world but actually it is god alone who sets up one man and puts down another working all things after the counsel of his will in daniel 5 21 we are told that the most high god ruled in the kingdom of men and he appointeth over it whomsoever he will satans claim was an idle boast verse 7 if thou therefore wilt worship me all shall be thine jesus was heir of all things and the devil knew it but he was offering the kingdom without the cross actually it is not his to give but ho sought to turn jesus aside from the place of absolute subjection to the fathers will verse s jesus said it is written once more the lord met satan with the word of god he recognized him as the adversary and withstood him in the power of the truth worship belongs to god alone satan ever seeks to have men put him in the place of god verse 9 he brought him to jerusalem and set him on a pin nacle of the temple whether this was done literally or in vision we are not told nor is it important that we should know the point is that even the sanctuary may be a place of temptation for pride of grace is one of the greatest snares to which we are exposed from that elevated place jesus saw the throngs gathered in the courts below satan would use this as a reason why he should display his power verse 10 11 it is written he shall give hi- angels charge over thee satan quoted only a part of psalm 9111 12 he omitted the most pertinent portion to keep thee in all thy ways it was no part of the holy ways of the son of god to leap spectacularly from the temple heights in order to astonish the worshipping multi tudes below as they beheld him suspended in the air above them sustained by angel hands this would have been a presumptuous use of the promise when god commands faith can act on his word to act without a command from him may often prove to be mere presumption verse 12 thou shall not tempt the lord thy god jesus did not argue the case with satan he simply met the devils misuse of scripture by another passage from the word it is never right to do anything just to see if god will do as he has said this in itself implies unbelief verse 13 the devil depart ed from him for a season j6sus had been tested in all three points like we are only to demonstrate his sinlessness this appeal to the pride of life was as unsuccessful as the other had been so the tempter retreated a vanquished foe for the time being tlio heart of the lesson gods king must reign in righte ousness the sinners substitute must be as an unblemished lamb with no defect outwardly or inwardly therefore the lord had to be subjected to the most search ing test to demonstrate his fitness for the great work he came to do had the temptation brought to light any evidence of inbred sin or moral corruption of any kind it would have been the proof that jesus was not the holy one of god destined to bring in everlasting righteousness and to make propiti ation for iniquity but nowhere was the perfection of jesus demon strated more clearly than when satan made every effort to find some tlefect in his character some form of selfseeking in his heart the king was tested and proved to be all that god the father had declared at his baptism the one in whom he had found all his delight if you dont dot
