Luke 4:1-13
JESUS IS FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
JESUS ENJOYED FORTY DAYS OF SOLITUDE
JESUS SPENT FORTY DAYS OF FASTING
Philippians 2:5-8
JESUS SPENT FORTY DAYS IN BATTLE WITH THE DEVIL
SATAN WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO PREVENT JESUS FROM SUFFERING
Look at how the devil tempted Jesus:
- Eat like a king.
- Rule like a king.
- Escape suffering and death.
Those who are touched by the One who was touched by the dove are filled with the Spirit.
Charles Spurgeon: The believer must go to Christ for help, and so must you. There is balm in Gilead; there is a Physician there. Sinner, if thou lookest to Christ thou shalt live. Though thou stand to-day upon the pinnacle, for life is such, though death be thy dreadful fate, and the fiery lake be thine everlasting portion, presume not, dash not thyself further into sin, plunge not into ruin, but lift thine eye upwards and say, “My God, my Father, help me; thou God, the Son who didst redeem with precious blood, wash me from my sin; thou Spirit of the living God, renew me in heart and life,” and it shall be done, for “ he that asketh receiveth, he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
