Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 4:1-2

Luke 4:1-2 Victory over the Besetting Sin. Our Lord, in defeating Satan's temptations, taught us also how to overcome them: (1) by answering Satan at once; (2) by not vouchsafing to enter into his subtleties; (3) our Lord teaches us that there is an order in Satan's temptations. I. If thou canst not find out thy chief fault, apply thyself to any bad one. It is better to gather thyself to an earnest conflict with almost any one, than to lose thy time in debating which to grapple with. Whilst... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 4:1-13

Luke 4:1-13 "Tempted like as we are.". The temptation, as is evident from the language employed, was in some way connected with the descent of the Holy Spirit upon our Lord; and we are thus taught that God, for their own and others' good, may lead His people through trial. It behoved Jesus to be made like unto His brethren, therefore He was led up into the wilderness; and while it had a bearing on them, it was no less an advantage to Him, for it furnished Him at the outset of His public... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 4:1-44

Luke 4:2 . Being tempted forty days he afterward hungered. During this space he lived like Moses on the mount, conversing with the Father in all the glories of his kingdom. His humanity was renovated, the glory of the only begotten shone through all his person. He was here prepared in body and in mind for the godlike sphere in which he was called to move, and in which he developed his character to be what the demons called him, the Holy One of God. Young men entering on the ministry should... read more

Luke 4:1And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wildernessThe temptation of ChristHow is the temptation of Christ to be understood?As a history, a parable, a myth, or an undesigned, though not accidental, compound of the three?

Luke 4:2-4Being forty days tempted of the devil.And in these days He did eat nothingThe temptation of Christ;A great part of the force and power of Christ’s example here is lost upon men, through their slipping it aside, by secretly imagining that, after all, His case and theirs are wholly different. They read of His being tempted; and as they do not disbelieve the Scriptures, they admit in a certain way that He was--that is, they never question it. But, practically speaking, and meaning by... read more

1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Ver. 1. Returned from Jordan, and was led ] No sooner out of the water of baptism, but in the fire of temptation. After greatest feelings, we are to expect sharpest assaults; neither can we better quench the devil’s fiery darts, than with the water of baptism. We lead, saith Luther, of a certain holy virgin, who, whensoever solicited to sin, would stop the tempter’s mouth with this... read more
