INTRO

  • Luke is moving from the person of Christ to authority He possess
  • Jesus demonstrating His authority/Lordship

Through His Teaching – vv. 31-32

Taught them on the Sabbath

  • Who is the most qualified to teach the OT.
    • Taught as if it was His autobiography

Astonished at His teaching… possessed authority.

  • Spoke with confidence and boldness
  • Matthew 7:28-29

Through Casting out Demons – vv. 33-37

In the synagogue

  • Satan had the demonic in the synagogue (doctrine matters in the church)

Demon… cried out with a loud voice

  • Demons knew that in a holy war
  • Fallen angels opposed to the Kingdom of God
  • Satan is the ruler of the unbelieving world. John 8:44, 1 John 5:19

Holy One of God

  • James 2:19 – Demons shudder

Be silent and come out

  • Demonstrating His authority over the demon
  • You…HUSH
  • Now is not the time

And they were amazed at His Word

  • At His teaching, authority, and power

The news spreads

Through Healing the Masses – vv. 38-41

Simon’s house

  • More private and intimate

Rebuked the fever and she began to serve Him

  • Touched by Christ.  Completely. Wholly
  • Response…serve Him

Laid hands on every one of them and healed

  • Personal.  Face to Face

Demons crying out “You are the Son of God

  • Knew He was the Christ

Thoughts on Jesus’ healing ministry:

  • Pointing people to who He is (authority/power)
  • Pointing people to the new birth
    • Ultimate healing
    • From dead to alive.  NEW LIFE
  • Every disease
    • Not live the TV preachers that just heal certain types
    • Jesus heals ALL

Through Fulfilling His purpose – vv. 42-44

I must preach the Kingdom of God

  • Rule and reign of God
  • Demonic
  • Physical

Same today…

  • Satan is opposed to the WORD and the Work of the Kingdom
  • Yet, the Word has the power and authority
  • We are have  the same mission and the protection 1 John 5:18-20

Luke 4:1-13

INTRO

  • Spirits leading in the “wilderness”
  • Battle with good and evil (Jesus and Satan)
  • Importance of the Word
  • Jesus is in the wilderness… The Exodus.  They failed but Jesus did not. Jesus is the TRUE ISRAEL
  • Jesus demonstrated His Lordship, and we can learn from Him!
  • God does not temp people only Satan
    • Lures to do evil
  • People can test God
    • Our sinful desires to do that which is against the things of God
    • Daring God to prove Himself

The Devil

  • Diablo – Accuser (in the court room)
    • God is not. Jesus is not
  • Tempting Jesus to act apart (independently) from God
  • Offering shortcuts to living a faithful life of trust and obedience.
  • The devil will use the same tactics to tempt us.
  • Notice what Satan brings into question when he tempts Christ, just as he will tempt us to sin against God. 

Our Needs – vv. 3-4

  • If you are the son of God
    • Questioning who Jesus is
  • Putting immediate needs over eternal purposes
  • My needs or God’s will
  • Physical nourishment/Spiritual nourishment

Our Worship – vv.5-8

If you, then, will worship me

  • Giving to Satan what belongs to God.
  • Our allegiance, worship
  • We glorify Him as we live under His LORDSHIP

Our Faith – vv. 9-13

  • If you are the Son of God
  • Satan twists Scripture to test God.
  • Not trusting in the truth and promises of God’s Word

Truths to Consider

Temptation is not sin

Temptation will come to everyone.

We must learn to resist.

  • We do not rebuke, but RESIST (just say NO)
  • Ephesians 6:13
  • James 4:7
  • 1 Peter 5:8-9

We utilize spiritual weapons (Follow the example of Jesus)

  • Prayer – Luke 3:21
