Baptism & Temptation
Good News from Doctor Luke 6
Luke 3:15-23a, 4:1-13

2. Baptism
Identification: Messiah, God’s Son, confirmed and directed. Us too?
Whilst praying: context of key moments in Jesus’ life, heard God’s voice.
Dove: comes to rest on Jesus (sensitive bird!) You need to adjust your life to the Dove not him to you.

3. Temptation follows Baptism!
Holy Spirit: Crucial Grace (full of..)
Holy Spirit: Crucial Journey (led by..)
Holy Spirit: Crucial Outcome (returned in power of….)

4. What kind of Temptations?
Free lunch (stones to bread) Deut. 8:3 God can’t want his Son to be hungry?
Easy short-cut to world domination (Worship me!!) Deut. 6:13 God wants Son to be sovereign over world.
Test God’s faithfulness Spectacular media event (misquotes Psalm 91:11-12) Deut. 6:6

5. Enemy attacks only when you are a threat!
Temptations always sound attractive!
None of us are immune, even Pastors!
Never finished (‘opportune moment’) this side of eternity!!
Welcome his attention as you must be doing something right!!
