Luke 4:1-13 | Luke: Good News of Great Reversals | Jim Knauss

Martin Luther said in his classic hymn “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” that on the earth there is not an equal to our ancient foe. Luther was correct in asserting his "craft and power are great” and that our battles with him sometimes end in utter defeat. Ever since the garden, man has battled with our ancient foe and proven “not his equal.” You are not alone in your battle. Everything is therefore riding on the passage when Christ does battle with the evil one in a winner take all match. In Luke 4:1-13 we will see the true and faithful Son conquer where every other son has failed.
