CD 1674 “Seasons - Sin - Sanctification”

Last Sunday night we ministered out of Luke Chapter 7, seeing the Lord’s heart for bringing the Truth in Word and Work! Luke was a physician and we need his point of view of God’s Great Gospel in this season (just a side note - The Gospel of Luke is thought to have been written primarily for a Gentile audience, as opposed to Matthew, which was written primarily for a Jewish audience). Let’s remind ourselves of the key truth in chapter 4: our Lord and Savior went through “seasons” and had victory over “sin” because He was “sanctified”! I don’t have to tell you that this is an intense “season” of “temptation” and “sin”! And just like Christ we must stand daily on the Word!

*Luke 4:1-15 (KJV) And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: 10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

Note V.1-2 first please: “And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.”

Background: See Deuteronomy 8:1-3 (KJV) All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers. 2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these “forty years” “in the wilderness”, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

The children of Israel ate “manna” - angels food and it was a type and shadow of Jesus being God’s Word to live by. Jesus told the Pharisees He was the “TRUE BREAD” that rained down from God the Father (see John 6:51)!”

When you are walking by faith trying to live by the Word of God the devil is coming after you confession:
