Ministry on This Verse

Luke 3:22• 22And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. (Luke 3:22)
;
Matt. 4:3• 3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. (Matt. 4:3)
• {v.3-12} In Luke the temptations are arranged according to their moral order: first, that which bodily need required; second, the world; third, spiritual subtlety. In each the Lord maintains the position of obedience and of dependence, giving God and His communications to man—His Word—their true place. (“Luke 4” by J.N. Darby)
• {v.3-12} Satan is overcome in the circumstances of temptation in which man is found. {v.3} Bodily need, which would have become lust if self-will had entered into it, instead of dependence on the will of God; {v.5} the world and all its glory, which, so far as it is the object of man’s covetousness, is, in fact, the kingdom of Satan (and it was on that ground that Satan tried to bring Jesus, and showed himself to be Satan in so doing); {v.9} and, lastly, self-exaltation in a religious way through the things which God has given us—these were the points of the enemy’s attack. (“Luke 4” by J.N. Darby)
• This power was as much shown in the apparently negative result of overcoming, as in the miraculous manifestation of power afterwards on men. (“Luke 4” by J.N. Darby)
• Luke evidently gives us the temptations in the moral order and not the historical. Matthew gives us the historical order….The order here agrees with John’s analysis of the world in chapter 2 of his first Epistle. The first temptation was evidently designed to appeal to the lust of the flesh, the second to the lust of the eyes, and the third to the pride of life. (“Luke 4” by F.B. Hole)
• {v.3-12} Dependence, devotedness, confidence—are those which mark the perfect Man. They are very distinctly seen in Psalm 16, which by the Spirit of prophecy sets forth Christ in His perfections as a Man. (“Luke 4” by F.B. Hole)
