"Temptation
  • Temptation of Christ is found in Mt. 41-11 Mark
    112-13 Luke 41-13
  • To test, try or provewith the sense of "putting
    to the proof," the testing of character, quality
    or to incite to evil.
  • The KJV translated four different Hebrew and
    Greek words all - temptation. Modern
    translations break these apart further into
    testing, proving, trying, and tempting.
    Temptation can produce holiness in us as well as
    sin.

Lessons from the MasterJESUSText Mt. 41-11
  • Hebrews 415 For we do not have a high priest who
    is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but
    we have one who has been tempted in every way,
    just as we are--yet was without sin.

6
Temptation
  • Itself is not SIN - it is COMMON to man.
  • 1 Cor. 1013a No temptation has seized you except
    what is common to man.

7
Temptation may come following a Spiritual
victory, it may
  • Create a feeling of invisibility.
  • Arouse a desire to be at ease.
  • Foster a tendency to lower our defenses.

8
Temptation may come from
  • WITHOUT - 1 Thes. 35b I sent to find out
    about your faith. I was afraid that in some way
    the tempter might have tempted you and our
    efforts might have been useless.
  • WITHIN - James 113-14 When tempted, no one
    should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot
    be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone but
    each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire,
    he is dragged away and enticed.

9
Attacks will come in three areas
  • 1 John 215-16 Do not love the world or the
    things in the world. If anyone loves the world,
    the love of the Father is not in him. For all
    that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the
    lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not
    of the Father but is of the world.

10
Attacks will come in three areas
  • The WORLD lust of the eyes (v6) - soul
  • The FLESH lust of the flesh (v3) - body
  • The DEVIL pride of life (vs8-9) - spirit
  • Adam Eve / David Bathsheba / Achan
    (Saw Covet Took)

11
The Key? PROPER FOCUS
12
Escape Temptation by staying Focused on the Lord
  • 1 Cor. 1012-13 So, if you think you are standing
    firm, be careful that you don't fall! No
    temptation has seized you except what is common
    to man. And God is faithful he will not let you
    be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you
    are tempted, he will also provide a way out so
    that you can stand up under it.

13
Escape Temptation by staying Focused on the Lord
How?
  • CONSTANT filling of the Holy Spirit.
    Lu 41 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit
  • CONTINUANCE in prayer.
    Mt. 42 after fasting/prayer 40 days nights
  • COMMAND of Gods Word.
    Mt 44,7,10 It is written

14
Two Results of Temptation
  • Judgment (Yielding to) - James 114-15 but each
    one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he
    is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire
    has conceived, it gives birth to sin and sin,
    when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
  • Blessing (Running from) - James 12-4 Consider it
    pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials
    of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing
    of your faith develops perseverance.
    4Perseverance must finish its work so that you
    may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
