LESSONS FROM THE MASTER


 “So, shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).

JESUS WAS TEMPTED THREE TIMES

These sins, "the lust of the flesh. The lust of the eyes.  And the pride of life." All depicted in Jesus' temptation in the wilderness.

First, Jesus was tempted to sin against God by pursuing worldly things rather than God. He was tempted by His physical needs, the lust of the flesh when He was tempted to turn the stones into bread.

Next, Jesus was tempted to do something spectacular by throwing Himself off the temple and having His angels rescue Him, the lust of the eyes.

Finally, Jesus was tempted to receive all the kingdoms of the world if He worshiped Satan; this is idol worship and the pride of life (See Matthew 4:1).

These three temptations that Jesus resisted in the wilderness mirror Adam and Eve's temptations and sin in the Garden and reflects what John defines as loving the world, the sins of "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life."

The temptation of Jesus by Satan (Luke 3:1-14) parallels Genesis three. The devil wanted Jesus to turn the stones into bread (flesh), to gaze at all the kingdoms and their glory (eyes), and to jump down from the Temple to prove He was the Messiah (pride of life). The methods of Satan never change.
