Temptation ii the common lot of
all mankind (I Cor. 10:13). The
strongest and most noble of men
are subject to it; angels were
tempted, and our scripture reveals
that even Jesus was tempted. We
recognize that Jesus was tempted
as the Messiah (w. 3, 6) and as one
without sin (Heb. 4:15), but It is
also true that He was tempted In
all points as we are, apart from sin,
and that we may learn from His
-temptation how we may meet and
be the victors over temptation.
1. What Is Temptation?
“Temptation is seduction to evil,
solicitation to wrong. It stands dis-
tinguished from trial thus: trial
tests, seeks to discover the man's
moral qualities or character; but
temptation persuades to evil, de-
ludes, that it may ruin. God tries;
Satan tempts" <A. M. Fairbaim).
Temptation is not sin, but yielding
to temptation is sin. Luther said,
"We cannot keep the birds from
flying over our heads, but we can
keep them from building nests in
our hair.” Temptation comes from
within, that is, from our own lusts
(James 1:13, 14). Satan also tempts
us (Eph. 6:11). God may permit
temptation as a means of proving
our faith (James 1:2, 3).
II. How Temptation Works.
It is significant that the tempta-
tions of Jesus were along the three-
fold line of the temptations of Adam
and Eve (Gen. 3:6) and the general
threefold temptation of all men,
namely, the lust of the flesh, the
pride of life, and the lust of the
eyes (I John 2:16). These three
temptation! really exhaust Satan's
bag of tricks, but he can dress up
these three fundamental tempta-
tions with almost endless variety.
He works
„. I By appealing to the flesh (w.
2, 3). He observes the normal ap-
petites and desires of a man's body,
excites them to a'high degree, and
then suggests an Improper method
of satisfying them. Hunger is nor-
mal and a sign of good health.
Jesus had fasted forty days and
Satan took advantage of that fact to
suggest the use of His divine power
to satisfy His hunger. This would
involve a denial of His entire mis-
sion on earth, jiamcly, the redemp-
tion of man by a divine person who
bad become a real man.
2. By appealing to pride (vv. 5,
6). Satan misapplied Scripture to
tempt Jesus to presumption on the
assumption that He was exercising
faith. God had promised to keep
Him "in all his ways” (Ps. 91:11).
To cast himself down from the tem-
ple was not one of the ways in
which Christ was called to walk. ,
Satan comes to us with the same'
kind of temptation. If He cannot
get us to forsake faith, he tempts
us to become fanatic and to proudly
substitute presumption for faith.
3. By appealing to the eyes (vv.
8, 9). By showing Christ the kiog-
doms of t|ie world and ottering them
to Him by thf short-cut of a brief
act of worship rather than by the
way of the cross, Satan tempted
Him again. Here the devil showed
his true desire that man should wor-
ship him rather than God.
III. How to Meet Temptation (vv.
4, 7, 10).
1. By the right use of Scripture.
H Jesus needed that weapon, how
can we do without It? How can we
use Scripture if we do not study it
and hide it In our hearts?
2. By dependence on God. Every
Scripture used by Jesus honored
God. We cannot tight Satan in our
own strength. To attempt to do ao
ia to fail utterly. The real victory
for the Christian Is to bring Satan
back to tha crosi where Christ won
a decisive victory over him.
I. By denouncing Satan. Jesus
sent him on his way. Wa may do
the same in Jesus' name. It la al-
ways a serious error to try to argue
with Satan of to engage in any dls-
cuaslon with him. Let us meet him
with Scripture and with a "Get thee
hence.”
IV. The Keanlt.
Satan left and angels came to
minister to Christ The overcom-
ing of temptation results in peace,
victory, *nd blessing. This la ever
so in the life of the believer. ’ Temp-
tation overcome makes us stronger
to meet the next temptation, and
also enables us to help our weaker
brethren.
