| | Temptation by John Murray
Topic: Temptation | | Description: The word tempt can mean 1) to prove or try, or 2) to instigate someone to sin (vs. 12 of this text), or 3) to fall into sin (vs. 14); if we do not appreciate fine distinctions we will not appreciate truth: God has foreordained whatever comes to past, and that includes sin, else God would not be God, but he is not in the least responsible for our falling into sin, because we are lured by our own evil desires; as soon as we acquiesce in the tempter's claims, we have gone astray; the essence of piety is to lay all the blame on our own heart's lusts; there is an inevitable law that if we live after the flesh we shall die; if we dilly-dally with temptation it is because we like temptation; the blessed man who endures temptation gives no sympathetic entertainment to sin; Job 23 points up the resistance Job offered to temptation; temptation is powerless as long as we do not give it our consent; young people need the almighty arm of the Redeemer who himself resisted temptation.

| | (Genesis) - Part 5 by Zac Poonen
Topic: Temptation
Scripture(s): Genesis 3:6-14, 2 Corinthians 11:2-4 | | Description: Why does God allow temptation to come? Behind the first temptation of the devil was this false grace to comfort people in their sin, whereas every word from God is a challenge to deliver from sin. Satan still seeks to lead Christians away from simple devotion to Christ, which is simple obedience to what God has said.

| | (Luke) 12 - Intro To The Temptation by Ed Miller
Topic: Temptation
Scripture(s): Luke 4:1-13, Matthew 4:1-12, Mark 1:12-13 | | Description: The temptations in the wilderness served as the final preparation of our Lord Jesus. This section is filled with mystery, yet has clear principles for us to grasp. Brother Ed warns in closing that we're not to try to imitate Jesus in how He conquered temptation, but rather to appropriate Him, which is far higher.

| | (Luke) 13 - Temptation Of Christ by Ed Miller
Topic: Temptation
Scripture(s): Luke 4:1-4 | | Description: In the first temptation, Satan tried to get Jesus to do something independently from His Father. Likewise Satan tries to get us to "turn rocks into bread" by the sin of anxiety--trying to help God in what only God can do. The real issue was not about the bread but about the test to doubt the love of God.

| | (Luke) 14 - Concl Of The Temptations by Ed Miller
Topic: Temptation
Scripture(s): Luke 4:5-13 | | Description: The nature of Satan’s temptations is to get us to doubt God's love, sufficiency and faithfulness. The devil tempts with the invented and imaginary glory of the world and also in the spiritual places--the temple (the Church). Many have caved into the spiritual temptations, demanding a miracle from God or trusting God insensibly. "Satan tries to tempt us," says brother Ed, "by causing us to act apart from a clear word from God."
