Sermon: The Devil Went Down to Jesus: Part 4
By: Pastor Ben Hulst
Series: The Devil Went Down to Jesus
Matthew 4.1-11: In this fourth part of the series on Jesus' temptation, we see Jesus being offered the glories of the world. The devil offers it for worshiping him - a simple process on the outside and for short-term gain, but a destruction within and for long-term destruction. Jesus has other goals, with using his attention to be focused on God the Father and not the father of lies. Praise God for his victory and thus his coming eternal kingdom!

Is he trustworthy, is the challenge? Jesus resists, displaying a complete trust in the Father and the word that holds promises to him. He endures because of trust in the long-term fulfillment of God and his promises. Praise God for Jesus' triumph, for it is our victory as well and gives us strength to resist the devil's taunts in our own lives.

Jesus shows his spiritual hunger is greater than his physical hunger. He seeks the heavenly food of God's provision rather than using his power for securing self-sufficiency. In this he shows his purpose to overcome Satan on our behalf. Praise God!
