Jesus Versus Satan (4 of 4)
Series: The Man Who Won’t Go Away

Luke 4:1-13
Today we conclude a series entitled, The Man Who Won't Go Away. As we examine Luke 4, we see a telling snapshot of the temptation of Jesus. There is so much in this story that I want to get right to work.
And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. 3 The devil said to him, ''If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.'' 4 And Jesus answered him, ''It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone.''' 5 And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, 6 and said to him, ''To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. 7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.'' 8 And Jesus answered him, ''It is written, '''You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.''' 9 And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, ''If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, 10 for it is written, '''He will command his angels concerning you,
to guard you,' 11 and '''On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.''' 12 And Jesus answered him, ''It is said, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.''' 13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time'' (Luke 4:1-13).
There are too many amazing things to say about this passage. There are so many angles and so many rivers that could be traced out in this passage. But I want to talk about temptation and how to fight against it. Along the way, allow me to introduce you to three main characters in today's story.
