This morning we are going to talk about the temptation
of Jesus. From the temptation of Jesus we are going to
learn about temptation. Temptation is the enticement
to sin. It is something all of us face. All of us know
what it is to be tempted.
I heard about a little boy whose mom said to him, "You
are not to go swimming in the swimming hole today. I
have plans for you tonight and I don't want you going
swimming." Later on mom went by the swimming hole and
there was her son swimming. She called him out of the
water and said, "Son, didn't I tell you not to go

living an imaginary life, but He lived life and He
experienced the same kinds of things you and I
experience. Among those he experienced temptation, the
enticement to sin.
Notice the first word of Matthew 4, verse 1. "THEN was
Jesus led up of the Spirit." That raises the question,
when. It points us to what has previously been told.
The previous verses tell us about the baptism of
Jesus. Jesus was baptized. He came up out of the
water. The Bible says the Holy Spirit like a dove came
and ...
