The Temptation of Jesus | Luke 4:1-13
As Mark shared last week, we are using this early part of the year to look at the stories of Jesus as found in Luke’s Gospel. In particular, we’re looking at how each and every one of these stories connects to the grace and freedom that is promised to those who believe. In our modern church age, it’s tempting to think that our salvation and the restoration of the world comes exclusively through the cross and through the open tomb. But Luke, as well as the other Gospel writers, makes clear that elements of Christ’s work of redemption are found throughout His earthly ministry, even from the very beginning. Last week Mark walked us through the baptism of Jesus. Today we’re going to look at His temptation in the wilderness.
