In Luke's Gospel.
I was thinking of the 4th chapter.
4.
Verse 13 verses.
Gospel Chapter 4, verse one.
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost.
Returned from Jordan.
And was led by the fear into the wilderness.
Being 40 days tempted of the devil.
And in those days he did eat nothing, and when they were endless, she afterwards hungry. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God.
Command this goal, that if he made bread, and Jesus answered him, saying, It is written that man shall not live by bread alone.
But by every word of God.
And the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him.
All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them, for that is delivered unto me into groups. Whoever I will, I give it.
If thou therefore will worship me, all shall be thine.
And Jesus answered and said unto him.
That they're behind me, Satan. For it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from him, For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee to keep thee, and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against the stone.
And Jesus answering, said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Like an order thoughtful by Luke is particularly for the Gentiles.
More genealogy is carried back not to only to Abraham, right back to Adam.
In this 4th chapter you put it on.
And finally.
The delicious is sent to the city of Seidman, which is outside of Israel.
And there were many lepers.
In Israel in the time malicious the Prophet, none of them was cleansed saving name in Syria.
27 first work chapter one before it and in the end the group.
In the 24th chapter.
Verse 46.
Unsaid unto them, that is the Lord said under the disciples.
Exhaust is written, and thus it beholds Christ to suffer.
And arise in the day of the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins, the pretty priest in his name, among all nations beginning at Jerusalem.
There are many indications that it's particularly.
For us Gentiles, this gospel was written.
I was brought in with him. We sang.
That makes me think of this portion of scripture.
Our Jesus footsteps every show of time for every child.
Well, he raised his footsteps in many parts of the Scripture. This is just part of here.
00:05:01
But I was thinking, other than that the obedient man.
Doing all of those things that leads the Father.
That's what he's doing here from this fortunate scripture.
He's the obedient 1.
And when he quotes Scripture, he quotes from the book of Deuteronomy.
Which has sometimes been called the Book of Obedience.
A quote from that book of obedience because he's the obedient. 1 The obedient man and her brothers speaks of tracing his genealogy way back to Adam.
Well, Adam, the first man failed.
For the Lord Jesus Christ the 2nd man didn't fail. He was altogether obedient.
He doesn't come to make demands.
As Moses did, or as John the Baptist.
But he comes.
To obey those commands. He's the obedient man.
It's a remarkable expression with here, isn't it, Being full of the Holy Ghost?
Please come forward now to be put to the test.
To be met by the Spirit into the wilderness.
The first man failed in a very simple matter.
Here's one who amid those fine circumstances?
Will not fail.
While he wasn't tested that it might be known whether he would fail or not.
But the testing surely came to show that he not only was a man, but divine son of God.
There was no thought.
That he might fail No thought like that at all.
No thought from it came to be tested so that Satan could realize he could do nothing with this man.
Why is it that it looks gospel? It's thinking about the Lord Jesus.
Being played by the Spirit into the world, turning to Mark's gospel, and in the new translation it says if you speak it with the Spirit, drives him out into the wilderness.
That's from the 12 first of Mark One.
Would that be because in Mark's Gospel he's presented as a servant?
And He is, as it were, driven to do God's will.
But in Luke, he's the obedient man and he's led to do God's will.
The noble of his own brother, and no will of his own.
Well then, if they're not the thought she.
Being who he was.
Son of God.
Son of man without sin.
They reluctant, so to speak, to have to do with that awful being.
That is revolving, told holiness is that which repels evil righteousness for judging. Well there was that with the Lord.
00:10:03
The reluctance, I believe, of having to do, having to do with that awful being.
Shouldn't that be our attitude for ourselves too?
Into temptation, to put ourselves in place where we can be tempted of Satan.
But rather to seek to be.
Hindered.
The Lord Jesus, for their brothers already said, was reluctant.
To come into contact with Satan.
But.
The Spirit of God.
Drives him into the wilderness in order that he might show what a perfect man walking in the path of faith.
What he would do.
And it's noticeable here.
His wilderness. Not the Garden of Eden. The Garden of the Lights.
But the wilderness? A barren place where there was really nothing to sustain life.
Well, that's where the Lord is led.
To have to do with this awful being.
Satan tempted the first man.
And he found something there that answered to his temptation. Well, he would tempt the Lord here to see if there was that there that.
Would be could be tempted by him in this way.
It tells us that he was tempted.
40 days of the Devil.
We're not told.
Anything about those temptations?
But for 40 days, Satan was trying to break him down.
And in the meantime?
He had nothing to sustain him from this world.
He hung.
If we were to fast for 40 days, we'd have all we could do to keep ourselves alive. But he had this, what our brothers bring before us, that he was also tempted of Satan, which I'm sure was much more than being subjected to bodily hundreds.
Well, the first nine items forfeited everything, didn't he?
And Satan bound him, all tied up by Satan.
Now the second man comes.
And he's going to bind Satan.
We get that in the 11Th chapter of this gospel.
Verse 21 When a strongman armed keepeth his palace.
His goods aren't peace.
That's Satan, a strongman.
But when a stronger than he shall come upon him.
That's the Lord Jesus Christ, and overcome him. He take it from him all his armor when he trusted and divided his spoil. So here's the stronger than the strong man coming on the sea to find the strong man, Satan.
Here's where the binding begins, isn't it?
Lord, restore that.
All of Adam had lost, Lord restored it, and with more blessing still.
Not for everyone on Earth especially, but for his own.
The Old Testament and New Testament.
00:15:17
Satan thought.
An opportunity.
If thou be the son of God, commander, these stones, we made bread.
It sounded reasonable because he had the power to do it.
Well, we see the evil suggestion there too, if thou be the summer. Yes, the major suggestion is the temptation to make him prove that he could do it.
Well, there was no question about that. He could do it, but that wasn't the point. Now he had no word from the father to do such a thing.
And he wouldn't do anything without a word from the Father for.
He did always those things which pleased his father.
For what she did, the words he spoke.
Revealed the father.
Wasn't anything more needed.
Than that which he lived.
And taught.
Who art thou? They asked. He said. Even what I have been saying to you.
The very words he'd been speaking.
Should have told him who he was.
But the Lord did have a word, didn't he?
In the fourth verse.
It is written that man shall not live by bread alone.
Not find every word of God.
The Blessed Lord goes by the word He hands, and it's not the past for us to go by the word that we have.
Not to follow some cunningly devised fables devised by man. Not to follow something that's been added to the word of God, but to follow the word that we have.
That's the pathway that the Lord has shown for us.
Brother Anderson, sometimes it didn't always possible to give a scripture exactly for the way that you'd want it to be. But there are principles out there if we don't have the scripture.
In this case.
Satan was attempting what it is you've gone out of.
He wanted him to exalt himself.
He says. Now if you're the son of the gospel.
Come back?
His first answer. The first word in his answer is back.
Taking the places of man.
And as a man, he has nowhere to do it.
Man shall not live by breadth, Satan says, if you're the Son of God.
Here was the Blessed One who became a man.
As a man, it was the perfect obedient man.
But what a lesson for us also.
How many people think?
All that the main object of life should be.
To supply your food and clothing.
Well, that isn't the case.
Man shall not live by bread.
Alone, but by every word of God.
Of course man could not after the fall after Adam is sin.
Because God had said, In the day thou eatest there are, thou shall surely die.
And Ephesians 2 tells us we were all dead in trespass and sins.
00:20:04
What if?
This principle is born in mind.
Man shall.
Not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
It's a good lesson for us.
Be careful about having three good meals a day.
For our bodies, how about our souls?
Perhaps sometimes when we think of the Lord Jesus Christ as to his body.
You might think of him as being sort of a mysterious being.
I'm not such a thing as hunger wouldn't affect him, but he had a body that could suffer hunger.
And here he's been without food.
For 40 days and expending energy too at the same time.
And that body of his is crying out for food.
And here it is that Satan comes.
Into tempting.
Well, it would have been easy for him to turn those stones into bread, that he might satisfy that hunger.
But he sets that aside.
For the time being.
When you think of the many miraculous cures which he wrought.
We must bear in mind that he felt the deepest sympathy with the persons whom he healed.
Himself there are sins, and carried our sorrows.
He felt these things.
In deep sympathy with them.
Yes, he was the most.
Sensitive feeling man ever was.
Because he felt things perfectly didn't.
Well, we might be tempted when we think of him as a man, and then we think of him as a son of God, try to analyze his person.
And dissect his person.
But we have to take him just as he is, just as he is Son of God and Son of man.
And just thank God for him and trust him simply.
As our very old, our own personal savior.
Not indifferent to temptation.
He was tempted everywhere.
Nothing in him to answer.
Temptation. We have sinned in us and we can be tempted by it. Not him, but he was like us.
Except for that we're even given to understand that.
Cheers and a strong crying and tears.
That they prayed to him that could save him out of death.
He felt these things, He felt.
The the terribleness of.
Being in that state.
It's a terrible thing for him.
Oh my God, there's a bit possible.
Let me come back.
They're going to talk to my.
Is there any?
Discussion to be strong, if thou be frank.
A lot of cards there.
00:25:03
That you're rejecting this Christ. It was a talk. It will be Christ. Say it.
Here the devil with having stuff.
Adams.
Adam is dislocating on the desk.
Christ went into death obedience.
That's why the judge.
Man has ever thought to lift himself up.
As a part of savings lives, and it's not in regard to be shall be as God knowing good needles, the man was to exalt himself and bring God down.
According to Olympians 2, the one that wouldn't exalt himself thought is highly exhausted.
Some of those linking, but as Christ he was redeemed the nation's misery.
But he wouldn't save himself.
And when he came to Israel, they looked for a deliberate decision from their enemy.
But he shall save his people from their sins.
Not their enemies. The time hadn't come for them.
There is a day coming when you say this from the revenues.
But he will first give Israel a new heart.
You find the same temptations used on Adam.
In the garden.
Or in principle, the temptations that he uses on the Lord here in the wilderness.
And they're the same temptations that we find in John's Gospel.
At John's epistle, rather.
Where?
He controls the world and lust is the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.
Satan controls men the day with those 3 mortgages.
Holding out those three things.
And Adam accepted.
That is.
They saw the tree was good for food.
And pleasant to the eye, free to be desired to make one watch.
Lust of the flesh to look in the eyes and cry.
So with it all together.
Having the knees fell.
But the Lord refused every temptation to the answer to every temptation by a simple illiterate.
He didn't use the word of God to silence Satan, but he used the word of God in the direction for his own conduct in the place he takes.
I think all his answers are from Deuteronomy.
Yes, but I've often thought whether we'll see that there every answer that the Lord gave to Satan.
Was a blow to Satan because he had told Satan claimed that you didn't do it.
So Satan's failure is showing up.
You're Charlotte ****.
But I was thinking of it, brother.
For the standpoint of when we are tempted.
We use the word if we use the word of thought as the direction to guide our people.
Satan is powerless.
Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Well, how will he meet it? How will he recognize this resistance?
While he'll see in us the same manner of resistance that he met in the Blessed Lord.
And he says that he's defeated it. If the scripture is used as the guide for our people, you mean in our being obedient?
00:30:03
In the garden.
In there in that they distrusted God. He put it to them in such a way that God was not good to withhold those things from, and they accepted that, and they fell.
Have really the first thing that Adam and Eve lost confidence in God? Yes, and that is what the Lord has started again.
Because he demonstrated.
The intentions of his grandmother for us and the wonderful grades has met our every needs.
I know the lies being told today.
God has a Fender in Hell.
It's just a new twist on an old model. In other words, God would send the Sinner to hell. He wouldn't be.
But God is good, but He's also a holy God.
And it is holiness He must judge sin.
Is that right?
Yes, indeed. Or in first John.
Chapter 4.
We get.
The two things brought together.
First, John 4.
Verse 9 and 10.
And this was manifested the love of God toward us, because.
Because the God sent his only begotten Son into the world that he might, that we might live through him.
There is the range of his love telling that God loves the whole world.
But the next verse brings out the holiness of that love.
Here in his love not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins, the sin question has to be taken care of. God can't take the Sinner to heaven the way he is. No sins have to be dealt with and the Lord Jesus Christ is the propitiation for our sins. The Lord has done everything that's necessary now so that the Sinner can be saved from his sin.
And find the Lord Jesus Christ as a substitute.
And be saved for eternity.
You say Brother Anderson, then of the ninth person measure.
The intent of the character.
All hope and measure that love.
His love is a great talk and the 2nd implementation.
Yeah, and you can reverse that too.
And then why should we catch where confidence tells us that Hebrews 1035.
Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, which has great recompense of reward.
For he has need of patience.
That after you've done the will of God, you might receive the promise, Forget a little while, and he that shall come will come.
Sad thing when you say to God.
Loses confidence in God and even expresses it audible.
In the third chapter of John, I could say the second chapter of John.
You mentioned brother. Both see me for three complaints that managed.
In order and up to your eyes, and your private life and novel honorable in the world. And the world passed away and lost her up. But even through the little problems by the corners not even the beautiful say it, but even your and you find the budget of Lord Julie, the little car doing the Father.
And I'm just thinking, how do you know about it? How can we do it?
Through his word, that should send the deal.
There may be some specific point.
Guidance we go to God and pray about.
Asking to make it clear.
But there's no need of going to God and asking God for how we should conduct ourselves if we have a plain scripture on the floor.
00:35:08
That is as much as to say that God might change his mind.
The person wants to marry an unbeliever and then says I'll go and pray about it.
Is denying the Goddess God's word is sufficient?
And it's treating you treating God as though he might change his mind.
He will not.
Just like that as a sample.
Yes, and then you have the first couple of verses of Romans 12.
As a good guy, I beseech you therefore, brethren.
By the mercies of God.
That you present your bodies a living sacrifice holy.
Acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable or intelligent service.
And be not conformed to this world.
But be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
That you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. That's how we get to know the will of God. We obey the word. Are we sacrifice?
Our own.
Carnal desires.
And present our bodies.
Sacrifice.
And as we do so, we go on with himself. The evidence that this is his word is confirmed in our soul.
You know, one of that good and perfect and acceptable will of God.
The Lord and say I've been elected as I will. Well, actually an amendment Christian who is walking in communion that likes to do the will of God.
That would be the desire, a new man.
If I fall on past.
It's not. It's not the new nature that's operated with.
It's the old nation.
If I look at that, the first epistle of John.
Chapter 3.
And verse 9.
Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin.
For his seed remain it in him.
And he cannot see him because he is born of God.
That truth, that truth, is little known in this vast, cushioned him in which you and I live.
We little realized.
World is covered by blessed protection less than the eyes pride of life.
But I fully believe.
That is the stopping place of the entire after that.
Healing the images of the lust of the eye and the lust of the flesh.
Some years ago.
There were three billboards appearing in the cities at the same time, preparing for three different makes of automobiles.
One appeal to its beauty.
Another ad appeal to the luxury and comfort of the car.
And another one said by our mate. And watch your neighbors perk up.
Pride of life.
It's a stopping trade by which Satan falls.
But there was one that went through this world.
Unmoved by it all.
00:40:08
Nothing wrong with being hungry.
Nothing mean nothing wrong satisfying the hunger.
But it would be wrong to do it, and Satan's suggestion it would be wrong to do it without in this manner, without instructions to do so.
Yes, I quite agree with that, Brother Wilson. I think that if a Christian puts himself.
Into a bad position.
It has no claim upon God to deliver them if he does it purposely.
So if he exposed himself to danger.
Well, if it overtakes him, why it says him, right?
Even then, he can cry out to the Lord for his help.
Yes, and he may be much from enough to live in here.
But if he does, he he says he's funny. God, I mean, they bring blessing out of the by letting you fall like Peter did, and finding out what a poor failure thing you want.
I when I was guarding as saying that for forest.
With a young Christian who they need to be reminded.
There never can come a time that they can't turn back to the Lord.
You know, 5 minutes is hard and grace and getting God may have to do with the government of his children.
And yet his heart doesn't change towards us.
Peter found himself in the wrong place, hidden days, and cried out to the Lord, and he delivered it to him.
Peter, the very one that we were speaking about who failed so and was restored.
Says in his epistle. If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. He had tasted it, well, we can taste it too.
Well, God has made it with necessity to play these things.
He met us in our deep knees at the cross.
Yes.
And the blessed relationship into which?
Through death and in resurrection.
The man that died for us is now the one who is seated at God's right.
And our great High Priest with God.
Our advocate let's let's deal, isn't it?
The relationship comes in there.
And advocate with a servant.
And why would the parliament, all God would have us to know, brothers?
That.
The new relationship into which Grace has.
Even if we fall into actual sin, we have an advocate with the Father and nothing, nothing can disturb that relationship.
All seven. All 70.
Which Grace has all you didn't put the entire hurts?
You did not quote the entire verse.
Sorry to advocate where the Father is Jesus Christ the righteous Jesus Christ the Lord. And we mustn't forget that because no, brother, thank you for me that the Christian will be made to feel it. Thank you for reminding me yes, Jesus Christ with impunity.
You make me think of many years ago, brother. When?
Not long together, don't I quoted the Romans 6, the last verse of Romans 6. I didn't conclude it. Papa Father, says Young Bubba, you send this back, please.
The wages of city is dead, but the gift of God is eternal life. I stop there.
You finish that.
Through Jesus Christ.
Very important now to quote the whole scripture. Yes, yes.
00:45:00
Very important.
Jesus Christ, the righteous.
Brother Aaron a few some years ago.
I heard you give an address.
On these temptations.
Found here in Matthew.
Connecting them with.
What comes to us?
In youth, middle age.
Attorney.
Yes, I really like I think.
That scripture in First John 2.
What we've been speaking about lust of the flesh.
The pride of life.
Or the lust of the eyes and pride of life. The less the order given in Luke, the order in the other Gospels is different. Well, I believe in Luke. It's the moral order, and it's the same order in which Satan attempted.
Eve there in the garden.
She first saw that the fruit was good for food.
That was beautiful to the eyes. And then it was something that would make one wise. Well, that was those three things.
Well, I believe that the lust of the flesh.
Has more to do with youth.
Though.
The One is never free from the lust of flesh.
I believe it has a stronger appeal, so to speak, to you.
Then the pride of life, the lust of the.
Eyes has to do more when Satan.
Brings before 1 The.
Glory of this world.
Well, he knows how to bring it before he knows how to display it.
Well, when?
He showed, for instance, the Lord.
Here.
All the kingdoms of the world, the glory of them. What a wonderful display, that what must have been.
Has been. I don't think there's ever been a moving picture to equal it.
That he displayed there. But you'll notice though, it's the kingdoms of this world.
The glory of them. But it doesn't say anything about the misery of them. Though he didn't show that because he never shows up. He never gives the whole truth.
Well, that is more to perhaps to do with middle wife life when one feels the responsibilities of life resting upon them.
And their concern is providing for their family and so on. Both Satan would seek to bring those things before one, I believe.
Well.
When the thing to be desired.
To make one wise, and here sitting upon the pinnacle of the temple.
And asked him to cast himself down.
To show who he was.
Well, I believe that comes in the last one to show who he was.
Well, as one goes on in life.
Why the older one gets?
Why The more that perhaps?
Appeals to them, and the harder it is to resist that kind of thing.
The harder it is to be able to own one that's wrong.
You know, Saul wanted Samuel to honor him in the presence of these elders of my people. Well, that was that kind of thing.
Well, I just thought of it that in that way.
Brother Big time for our leaders. Told for 30.
You got quite a schedule for the sponsor, anything?
College.
