1. Jesus Is Tempted
Hebrews 4:14-16

2. Temptation Personal and internal
13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.
15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. (Jas. 1:13-15 NIV)

3. Temptation
For everything in the world-- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-- comes not from the Father but from the world. (1 Jn. 2:16 NIV)

4. Matthew 3:17 – 4:11 4:2-4 – lust of the flesh
Not controlled by desires or needs.
Controlled by what ought to be.
The will or word of God.
Deut. 8:1-5

5. Matthew 3:17 – 4:11 4:5-7 – pride of life
A demonstration to other or himself?
God is to be trusted, not tested.
We are in no position to judge Him nor His actions.
Habakkuk 3:17-19; Job 13:15
Is God with us?
Deut. 6:16; Ex. 17:7

6. Matthew 3:17 – 4:11 4:8-11 – lust of the eyes
Could the devil have given these things?
Jesus not looking for numbers, but the faithful.
Be the church that belongs to Jesus.
Galatians 1:10 – 1 Thessalonians 2:4
Deut. 6:13
