Jesus (The Son of Man)

Luke 4:1-13

Like Jesus are you ever tempted to do something that is not considered a sin outright (Luke 4:3-4), but you have the wrong motives of why you are tempted or actually do it? Is it a short cut to what God has for you? What are your real motives? Do you think it is a sin? Do you think that this is Satan trying to get you off track?

Satan many times will tempt us where we are strong, not week (Jesus had power over the stones), and we will give into pride, and self-motivating attitudes and actions. Are you sinning in that way? Being strong in your own eyes?

Jesus defeated this battle over temptation with the devil, but the war was not over yet. He was still tempted the rest of his life, what areas in your life right now is the devil tempting you to sin against God?

What would it take for you to sell out? What is in the world that would or is cause or causing you to compromise your faith?

From the example of Jesus what was the ONE thing that helped Jesus overcome the temptation? Do you think you should know that ONE thing so you can defeat the devil? Why do we think that that ONE thing isn’t that big of a deal, even the devil uses it to try and trick Jesus, if the devil uses it, do you think all the more we should use it? What are some practical things that can help you know that ONE things so you don’t give into temptation?
