00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.240
 If you'd open up your Bibles to Matthew chapter 4, verse 1 through 11,

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:07.360
 we're going to be looking at the temptation of Jesus this morning.

00:00:09.700 --> 00:00:14.240
 Last week, we looked at the baptism of Jesus, and it was His inauguration day.

00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:15.259
 Do you remember the words?

00:00:15.419 --> 00:00:20.900
 It kind of climaxed in chapter 3, verse 17, where God says of His Son,

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.359
 This is My beloved Son with whom I'm well pleased.

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.219
 He made a declaration, an announcement.

00:00:27.219 --> 00:00:33.500
 And in that statement, this is My beloved Son with whom I'm well pleased,

00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:36.420
 God the Father, there were choice words.

00:00:36.820 --> 00:00:42.899
 He's drawing on Psalm 2, this is the Messiah, this is My Son, He's going to inherit the nations.

00:00:43.739 --> 00:00:49.859
 And He's also drawing on Isaiah 42, the suffering servant with whom I'm well pleased.

00:00:51.179 --> 00:00:53.200
 This Messiah is going to suffer.

00:00:54.140 --> 00:00:56.840
 He's going to establish His reign through suffering.

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.519
 And so what we're going to see this morning is this.

00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.239
 We're going to go from the inauguration day to the proving day.

00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:17.519
 Jesus is inaugurated as King, and then what we're going to see is Jesus' medal is proven through the temptation.

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:18.780
 Imagine this.

00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:19.799
 This is just make-believe.

00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:21.840
 I don't think this really happened, but just pretend with me.

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.880
 God the Father in heaven says, this is My beloved Son with whom I'm well pleased.

00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:27.780
 Public announcement.

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:29.320
 Up in heaven.

00:01:29.460 --> 00:01:30.060
 Bling, bling, bling.

00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:31.159
 Bling, bling, bling.

00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:32.400
 Bling, bling, bling.

00:01:32.740 --> 00:01:34.219
 Little telephone call in heaven.

00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:35.620
 God the Father picks up.

00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:37.420
 Yes?

00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:38.719
 It's Satan?

00:01:40.939 --> 00:01:42.060
 I just heard the announcement.

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:42.740
 Yes?

00:01:42.820 --> 00:01:43.900
 I meant it for all to hear.

00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:44.219
 Yes?

00:01:44.219 --> 00:01:49.939
 Now, I've heard that He is well-pleasing to you.

00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.239
 Why don't you send Him my way?

00:01:53.659 --> 00:01:55.459
 Let me put Him to the test.

00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:56.859
 Let's see what He's got.

00:01:57.980 --> 00:01:59.620
 You know what God the Father would say at that point?

00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:01.140
 It's in the plan.

00:02:01.219 --> 00:02:01.960
 I've already sent Him.

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.960
 He's being led by the Spirit right now into the wilderness.

00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.280
 And by the way, He's my beloved Son.

00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.039
 I think you've got more on your hands than what you realize.

00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:10.439
 Click.

00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:18.120
 This morning, what I want you to see is this.

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:30.780
 What the temptation of Jesus shows is that Jesus is trusting and obeying of His Father all the way through.

00:02:31.219 --> 00:02:36.759
 He trusts and obeys His Father all the way through each temptation.

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.060
 He submits Himself to the will of the Father.

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.020
 He trusts and obeys.

00:02:43.020 --> 00:02:49.020
 And by doing so, He proves what God the Father has just said.

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.800
 This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased.

00:02:56.819 --> 00:03:01.699
 So there are really kind of three stages in this passage.

00:03:02.379 --> 00:03:03.840
 Verses 1 and 2.

00:03:03.979 --> 00:03:04.960
 It's the preparation.

00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:06.580
 Jesus shows up in the wilderness.

00:03:06.580 --> 00:03:13.140
 And then there's 3 through 10 where we're going to see kind of three rounds between heavyweights.

00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:15.880
 The devil and Jesus the Son.

00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:18.560
 I'll tell you right now, Jesus wins.

00:03:20.540 --> 00:03:23.560
 And then, verse 11, the triumph.

00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:24.480
 The aftermath.

00:03:24.880 --> 00:03:27.780
 We'll be spending most of our time on 3 through 10.

00:03:28.140 --> 00:03:30.720
 But let's look at this preparation to begin with.

00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:33.000
 It's a preparation of extremes.

00:03:33.220 --> 00:03:34.500
 Verses 1 and 2.

00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:38.719
 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.439
 And after fasting 40 days and 40 nights, He was hungry.

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.439
 Maybe one of the most extreme understatements in the Bible.

00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.800
 But there may be more going on there than meets the eye.

00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:55.520
 We've got some extremes.

00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:56.819
 Extreme landscape.

00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:57.520
 The wilderness.

00:03:57.780 --> 00:03:58.800
 It was a deserted place.

00:03:58.840 --> 00:03:59.780
 A lonely place.

00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:01.560
 Extreme wilderness.

00:04:02.659 --> 00:04:03.300
 Extreme landscape.

00:04:03.300 --> 00:04:06.620
 We've got extreme hunger going on here.

00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:10.380
 Jesus has been fasting 40 days and 40 nights.

00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:15.400
 And we all know that kind of 40 days without food is kind of the maximum a human being can go without dying.

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.519
 So Jesus is at the extreme of His life, humanly speaking.

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:19.599
 He's been fasting.

00:04:21.219 --> 00:04:22.419
 He's been fasting.

00:04:23.159 --> 00:04:24.299
 Which means this.

00:04:24.919 --> 00:04:26.979
 He's just not going without food, going without food.

00:04:27.019 --> 00:04:29.339
 He's going without food in order to prepare Himself for something.

00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.259
 He was extremely hungry.

00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:40.519
 But when we get into the temptations, we're going to come back to this.

00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:44.139
 Because we've got to ask, what was He really hungry for?

00:04:46.899 --> 00:04:48.039
 Extreme isolation.

00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.740
 Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, yes.

00:04:52.379 --> 00:04:53.740
 But He alone faced the devil.

00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:58.120
 Now, I'm going to just be honest with you.

00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:01.039
 I can't imagine going 40 days without food.

00:05:01.039 --> 00:05:03.839
 It's hard to imagine going 40 minutes without food, just to be honest with you.

00:05:05.259 --> 00:05:11.019
 And if I was in an extreme landscape with extreme hunger facing an extreme opponent like the devil,

00:05:11.659 --> 00:05:12.959
 I'd fold like a cheap suit.

00:05:14.219 --> 00:05:15.279
 I think we all would.

00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.519
 Speaking of this extreme opponent,

00:05:19.980 --> 00:05:23.019
 he was led out to be tempted by the devil.

00:05:23.099 --> 00:05:24.459
 We were singing a song here.

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:26.980
 Thank you, Ben and Lindsay.

00:05:27.860 --> 00:05:29.120
 What a sweet song.

00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.899
 Our enemy meant for evil.

00:05:32.899 --> 00:05:34.699
 God meant for good.

00:05:35.459 --> 00:05:37.239
 Jesus is led out to the wilderness.

00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:39.459
 The devil wants evil.

00:05:39.659 --> 00:05:40.500
 God wants good.

00:05:43.299 --> 00:05:44.739
 And so He's led out to the devil.

00:05:44.919 --> 00:05:46.919
 And the devil goes by a lot of different handles.

00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.919
 In the Bible, ruler of this world, John 12.

00:05:50.459 --> 00:05:52.459
 Prince of the power of the air, Ephesians 2.

00:05:52.819 --> 00:05:55.179
 The God of this world, 2 Corinthians 4.

00:05:55.180 --> 00:05:58.259
 The serpent of old, the deceiver of the world, Revelation 12.

00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:00.540
 The destroyer, Abaddon, Apollyon.

00:06:01.220 --> 00:06:03.840
 The accuser, the slanderer, the tempter.

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.160
 Head to head.

00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:10.620
 Extreme opponent.

00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:16.300
 There's extreme stakes.

00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:23.220
 Will Jesus, when facing all these extremes,

00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:27.199
 will Jesus prove Himself as the Son of God,

00:06:27.660 --> 00:06:28.939
 faithful to His Father,

00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:30.360
 or will He be disqualified?

00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:35.040
 Will He yield to the devil's temptations

00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.259
 and not just Himself be disqualified,

00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.740
 but throw God's plan of salvation into the garbage can?

00:06:42.280 --> 00:06:43.420
 The stakes are high.

00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.420
 A lot of extremes going on here,

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.340
 but there's one other extreme I want you to see.

00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.500
 There's extreme fulfillment going on here.

00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:56.459
 When you hear the word wilderness,

00:06:57.060 --> 00:06:58.600
 when you read the word 40,

00:06:58.939 --> 00:07:00.959
 when you read the words hunger,

00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.040
 when you hear the words sun,

00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:05.000
 you need to be realizing

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.860
 that Jesus is experiencing here

00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:09.160
 something that parallels

00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.439
 what Israel experienced in the wilderness.

00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:14.319
 Very intentional.

00:07:15.259 --> 00:07:18.079
 Remember, Israel spent 40 years in the wilderness,

00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:19.560
 wandering the wilderness.

00:07:22.500 --> 00:07:26.259
 And we see in Deuteronomy 6, 7, and 8,

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:28.160
 right before they enter Canaan,

00:07:28.540 --> 00:07:29.439
 the promised land,

00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.379
 God through Moses addresses them.

00:07:33.259 --> 00:07:34.620
 And so what we see here

00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:35.879
 in the temptation of Jesus

00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:37.579
 is when He says it is written,

00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.759
 He is quoting from Deuteronomy 8

00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:41.980
 and Deuteronomy 6.

00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:43.860
 Parallel.

00:07:46.980 --> 00:07:48.379
 What you also need to know

00:07:48.379 --> 00:07:49.939
 is that in Deuteronomy 8,

00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.439
 Israel is likened to being God.

00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:53.439
 God's son.

00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.459
 God led His people, Israel,

00:07:57.660 --> 00:07:58.519
 His son,

00:07:59.139 --> 00:08:00.040
 into the wilderness

00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.180
 to test them,

00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:02.000
 quote unquote,

00:08:02.139 --> 00:08:03.740
 to know what was in your heart,

00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:04.860
 whether you would keep

00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:06.259
 God's commandments or not.

00:08:07.259 --> 00:08:09.660
 So God leads His people,

00:08:09.779 --> 00:08:10.759
 His son, Israel,

00:08:10.939 --> 00:08:11.600
 through the wilderness

00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.199
 to prepare them for entering Canaan.

00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:14.259
 And we all know

00:08:14.259 --> 00:08:15.439
 they failed miserably.

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:18.600
 They're a bunch of complainers.

00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.980
 stiff-necked,

00:08:21.080 --> 00:08:21.860
 made it hard.

00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:23.520
 God was merciful, though.

00:08:25.220 --> 00:08:27.200
 God leads His son, Jesus,

00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:28.160
 into the wilderness

00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.980
 to prepare Him

00:08:29.980 --> 00:08:31.280
 for His public ministry

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:32.120
 to prove

00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.040
 that He is

00:08:34.040 --> 00:08:35.240
 the true

00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:36.720
 Son of God.

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:37.960
 to prove

00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.840
 what was in His heart,

00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.240
 to fully obey the Father,

00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:43.920
 no matter what,

00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:45.379
 to submit Himself

00:08:45.379 --> 00:08:46.100
 gladly

00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:47.420
 to His God.

00:08:48.560 --> 00:08:49.399
 He did

00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:50.560
 what Israel

00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:51.980
 did not do.

00:08:54.060 --> 00:08:55.379
 God has a purpose

00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:56.740
 for leading His son

00:08:56.740 --> 00:08:57.399
 into the wilderness.

00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:57.600
 Jesus.

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:00.980
 Jesus is going to

00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:01.539
 show Himself

00:09:01.539 --> 00:09:03.480
 as the true

00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:04.419
 Son of God.

00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:06.720
 So there's

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:07.539
 extreme fulfillment.

00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:09.939
 A lot of action

00:09:09.939 --> 00:09:10.579
 going on here,

00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:10.919
 isn't there?

00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:13.659
 Matthew has this,

00:09:13.939 --> 00:09:13.959
 like,

00:09:14.620 --> 00:09:15.699
 if you, like,

00:09:16.059 --> 00:09:16.500
 if you, like,

00:09:16.579 --> 00:09:16.939
 cut Him,

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:17.779
 He'd bleed out

00:09:17.779 --> 00:09:18.539
 like Old Testament.

00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:20.240
 He's just,

00:09:20.319 --> 00:09:20.779
 He's just,

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:21.659
 got Old Testament

00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:22.500
 all over the place.

00:09:24.419 --> 00:09:24.899
 Okay,

00:09:25.179 --> 00:09:26.379
 so verses 1 and 2,

00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:28.039
 our King

00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:29.360
 is being put

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.500
 to a very

00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:31.720
 extreme test.

00:09:32.139 --> 00:09:32.899
 If any of us

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:33.899
 were in that situation,

00:09:34.059 --> 00:09:34.539
 we'd fold,

00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:34.779
 like,

00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:35.579
 cheap suits.

00:09:35.939 --> 00:09:36.519
 You've got to understand

00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:37.240
 we've got extremes

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:37.959
 going on here.

00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:40.079
 And He's going to

00:09:40.079 --> 00:09:40.699
 prove Himself

00:09:40.699 --> 00:09:41.779
 to be faithful.

00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:42.659
 He's going to,

00:09:42.659 --> 00:09:44.659
 this is saying

00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:45.659
 He's ready

00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:47.500
 for ministry.

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:50.620
 Stage 2,

00:09:52.059 --> 00:09:52.720
 the Son

00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:53.500
 is tempted.

00:09:53.860 --> 00:09:55.039
 In verses 3 through 10,

00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:56.639
 the devil seeks

00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:57.379
 to disqualify.

00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:57.879
 Jesus

00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:59.100
 and undermine

00:09:59.100 --> 00:09:59.740
 God's plan

00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:00.360
 of salvation

00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.579
 with three temptations.

00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:02.899
 Now,

00:10:03.319 --> 00:10:04.039
 has anybody seen

00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:05.720
 a boxing match

00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:06.340
 before?

00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:08.519
 There are these

00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:09.039
 things called

00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:09.720
 rounds,

00:10:10.439 --> 00:10:10.899
 and so

00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:12.559
 they come out,

00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:13.480
 the fighters fight

00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:14.100
 for a round,

00:10:14.199 --> 00:10:14.620
 they go back

00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:15.279
 to their corners,

00:10:15.439 --> 00:10:16.039
 and they come back

00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:16.840
 for another round.

00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:17.939
 And so imagine

00:10:17.939 --> 00:10:18.600
 the temptation

00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:19.980
 as three rounds.

00:10:21.059 --> 00:10:22.000
 Who's going to win?

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.120
 Let's look at round

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:25.519
 one.

00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:28.179
 The first temptation

00:10:28.179 --> 00:10:28.940
 of Jesus.

00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:30.740
 And the tempter,

00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:31.440
 this is verse 3,

00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:32.100
 and the tempter

00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:33.320
 came and said

00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:33.980
 to Him,

00:10:34.059 --> 00:10:34.320
 Jesus,

00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:35.919
 if You are

00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:36.759
 the Son of God,

00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:38.779
 command these stones

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:39.759
 to become loaves

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:40.899
 of bread.

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.200
 So here's the setting.

00:10:42.419 --> 00:10:43.059
 We're in the wilderness,

00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:44.580
 dry,

00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:45.259
 barren,

00:10:45.259 --> 00:10:46.939
 and it lacks

00:10:46.939 --> 00:10:47.899
 a lot of stuff,

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:48.860
 but what it doesn't

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:50.319
 lack is stones.

00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:53.620
 And Satan knows

00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:54.840
 that Jesus is

00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:55.620
 quote unquote

00:10:55.620 --> 00:10:56.559
 hungry.

00:10:59.059 --> 00:11:00.960
 And so in verse 3,

00:11:01.059 --> 00:11:01.939
 I hope you notice

00:11:01.939 --> 00:11:04.559
 how the devil

00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:05.200
 kind of moves

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:06.220
 into this temptation.

00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.319
 If you are

00:11:10.319 --> 00:11:11.519
 the Son of God,

00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:13.559
 command these stones

00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:14.179
 to become loaves

00:11:14.179 --> 00:11:14.500
 of bread.

00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:15.200
 If you are

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.039
 the Son of God,

00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.879
 if you are

00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:20.639
 the Son of God,

00:11:22.379 --> 00:11:22.860
 what you need

00:11:22.860 --> 00:11:23.240
 to realize

00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:24.059
 is that the devil

00:11:24.059 --> 00:11:25.240
 is not questioning

00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.039
 Jesus' sonship.

00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:28.620
 What the devil

00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:29.059
 is doing

00:11:29.059 --> 00:11:30.000
 is tempting him

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.539
 to use his sonship

00:11:31.539 --> 00:11:32.159
 in a way

00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:33.139
 that would

00:11:33.139 --> 00:11:34.600
 cause him

00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:35.039
 to disobey

00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:35.559
 his father,

00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:38.379
 to cause him

00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:39.519
 to move independently.

00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:44.419
 It's kind of like this.

00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:46.659
 Jesus,

00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:47.440
 I got the memo.

00:11:47.620 --> 00:11:49.080
 I heard the whole thing.

00:11:50.299 --> 00:11:51.559
 You're his beloved son

00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:55.059
 in whom his soul delights.

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:55.539
 I get it.

00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:56.120
 I get it.

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.639
 Well, since you are

00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:00.799
 the Son of God,

00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:01.419
 Jesus,

00:12:02.419 --> 00:12:04.200
 since you're the Messiah,

00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:05.600
 God in the flesh,

00:12:05.659 --> 00:12:06.759
 you've got all the power

00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:08.100
 to create out of nothing,

00:12:08.659 --> 00:12:10.740
 since you're that,

00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:15.019
 why don't you just use

00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:16.200
 your Son of God power

00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:17.360
 to feed yourself?

00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:20.139
 Why don't you fill

00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:20.820
 your little tummy?

00:12:21.520 --> 00:12:22.400
 I know you're hungry.

00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:26.560
 What the devil

00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:27.340
 is tempting Jesus

00:12:27.340 --> 00:12:27.800
 to do

00:12:27.800 --> 00:12:28.500
 is to misuse

00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:29.060
 his power

00:12:29.060 --> 00:12:30.840
 as the Son of God.

00:12:31.420 --> 00:12:32.620
 To use his power

00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:33.840
 not for the advancement

00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.100
 of his Father's will,

00:12:35.680 --> 00:12:37.600
 but to satisfy

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.040
 himself,

00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:40.560
 personal gratification.

00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:42.879
 And you might be sitting

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:43.640
 in your pew right now

00:12:43.640 --> 00:12:43.860
 saying,

00:12:43.920 --> 00:12:44.660
 what's wrong with that?

00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:45.200
 I mean, seriously,

00:12:45.300 --> 00:12:46.100
 he's got all the power

00:12:46.100 --> 00:12:46.820
 he wants to.

00:12:46.820 --> 00:12:47.420
 If he's hungry,

00:12:47.540 --> 00:12:48.160
 we could just make

00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:50.240
 some bread out of stones.

00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:51.100
 What's the big deal

00:12:51.100 --> 00:12:51.560
 about that?

00:12:53.400 --> 00:12:54.379
 Well, the big deal

00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:55.080
 about it is

00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:56.600
 he can't do

00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:57.940
 whatever he wants.

00:12:59.300 --> 00:13:01.400
 He is submitted himself,

00:13:01.580 --> 00:13:01.800
 Jesus,

00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:03.540
 to the will of his Father.

00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:07.160
 He is the divine Son

00:13:07.160 --> 00:13:09.320
 sent to accomplish

00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:10.600
 the Father's purposes.

00:13:13.300 --> 00:13:14.420
 And so let's look

00:13:14.419 --> 00:13:15.879
 at how Jesus responds

00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.979
 to this temptation.

00:13:20.479 --> 00:13:21.860
 Chapter 4, verse 4.

00:13:23.959 --> 00:13:25.419
 But Jesus answered,

00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:27.059
 it is written.

00:13:28.479 --> 00:13:29.360
 It is written.

00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:31.419
 Look at 4.4,

00:13:31.579 --> 00:13:32.079
 it is written.

00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:33.919
 Look at 4.7,

00:13:34.979 --> 00:13:35.899
 again, it is written.

00:13:38.339 --> 00:13:39.659
 Now look at verse 10.

00:13:39.659 --> 00:13:41.860
 For it is written.

00:13:43.980 --> 00:13:45.519
 Jesus resists

00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:46.919
 by quoting the Bible.

00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:48.039
 Jesus resists

00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:49.620
 by reciting God's Word.

00:13:51.259 --> 00:13:52.659
 Jesus is saying,

00:13:53.779 --> 00:13:55.439
 hey, I'm not going to trust

00:13:55.439 --> 00:13:56.779
 your Word,

00:13:57.059 --> 00:13:59.399
 you fork-tongue liar,

00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:01.620
 but I'm going to stand

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:04.179
 on what God has said.

00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:07.419
 I'm going to trust

00:14:07.419 --> 00:14:08.139
 and obey.

00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:09.659
 As the Son of God,

00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:10.419
 I'm going to trust

00:14:10.419 --> 00:14:11.100
 my Father.

00:14:12.319 --> 00:14:13.600
 Man shall not live

00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:14.500
 by bread alone,

00:14:14.580 --> 00:14:15.720
 but by every word

00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:16.740
 that comes

00:14:16.740 --> 00:14:18.100
 from the mouth

00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:18.840
 of God.

00:14:20.779 --> 00:14:22.199
 What's he hungry for?

00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:25.120
 What's Jesus

00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:26.279
 really hungry for?

00:14:27.460 --> 00:14:29.000
 He fasted 40 days

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:29.639
 and 40 nights.

00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:30.460
 He was hungry.

00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:32.379
 We immediately

00:14:32.379 --> 00:14:33.319
 interpret that as,

00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:34.259
 oh, he is just

00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:35.080
 looking for a snack.

00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.440
 Could it be

00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:38.300
 that he's hungry

00:14:38.300 --> 00:14:39.220
 to accomplish

00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:40.259
 the Father's will?

00:14:42.940 --> 00:14:43.960
 He's more hungry

00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:45.300
 to obey his Father

00:14:45.300 --> 00:14:47.240
 than to fill his belly

00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.840
 even though he could.

00:14:49.800 --> 00:14:51.720
 He submits his power

00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:53.240
 to the Father's purposes.

00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:55.220
 And he quotes

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:56.160
 Deuteronomy 8.3.

00:14:56.280 --> 00:14:56.720
 It's a reference

00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:57.300
 to when Israel

00:14:57.300 --> 00:14:57.900
 was in the wilderness

00:14:57.900 --> 00:14:59.300
 and without food.

00:14:59.800 --> 00:15:00.820
 God put them there

00:15:00.820 --> 00:15:01.320
 intentionally

00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:02.820
 to test them,

00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:04.960
 to see what they would do

00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:08.160
 and to show them

00:15:08.160 --> 00:15:08.820
 what he can do.

00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:10.900
 He can provide

00:15:10.900 --> 00:15:12.120
 for their most basic needs

00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:12.920
 on a daily basis.

00:15:14.820 --> 00:15:16.920
 So he sends Israel

00:15:16.920 --> 00:15:18.500
 daily supplies

00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:19.180
 of this stuff

00:15:19.180 --> 00:15:20.000
 called manna,

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:21.520
 this heavenly bread,

00:15:22.040 --> 00:15:23.600
 to teach his son Israel

00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.300
 that God,

00:15:24.400 --> 00:15:24.879
 their father,

00:15:25.020 --> 00:15:25.900
 is able and willing

00:15:25.900 --> 00:15:27.300
 to meet their everyday needs.

00:15:28.180 --> 00:15:28.940
 All they needed

00:15:28.940 --> 00:15:29.980
 to trust his word

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:32.480
 to believe what he said.

00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:34.060
 And you know

00:15:34.060 --> 00:15:34.700
 what God does?

00:15:36.280 --> 00:15:37.580
 He provides for them

00:15:37.580 --> 00:15:38.720
 daily for 40 years

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:39.060
 while they're

00:15:39.060 --> 00:15:39.520
 in the wilderness.

00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:41.400
 40 years,

00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:42.120
 day after day,

00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:43.000
 manna on the ground.

00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:44.800
 All they need,

00:15:45.700 --> 00:15:46.640
 he provides for them.

00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:48.500
 40 years of manna

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:50.160
 just like he said

00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:50.940
 he would do.

00:15:51.920 --> 00:15:53.460
 40 years of God's

00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:54.120
 faithfulness

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:55.060
 to his own word.

00:15:59.040 --> 00:15:59.980
 By quoting

00:15:59.980 --> 00:16:01.280
 Deuteronomy 8.3,

00:16:01.280 --> 00:16:02.440
 Jesus is saying,

00:16:02.820 --> 00:16:04.480
 Satan,

00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:07.540
 I'm going to trust

00:16:07.540 --> 00:16:07.860
 and obey

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:08.800
 my father's word.

00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:11.540
 He has me here.

00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:14.140
 I've been fasting.

00:16:15.020 --> 00:16:16.480
 I am going to trust

00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:17.600
 that he will provide

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:18.040
 for me.

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.440
 I'm not going to provide

00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:20.160
 for myself

00:16:20.160 --> 00:16:21.020
 even though I can.

00:16:21.400 --> 00:16:22.500
 I'm going to submit

00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:23.900
 myself to him.

00:16:24.280 --> 00:16:25.040
 I'm going to trust

00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:25.740
 his timing

00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:26.320
 to when I'm going

00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:27.140
 to eat next.

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:28.659
 but my appetite

00:16:28.659 --> 00:16:30.179
 is to do

00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:30.819
 the will

00:16:30.819 --> 00:16:31.720
 of my father

00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:32.960
 and even if that

00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:33.819
 means I just

00:16:33.819 --> 00:16:34.220
 got to put

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:35.220
 my own power

00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:37.179
 under his will.

00:16:39.139 --> 00:16:40.480
 The son submits

00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:41.360
 to the father

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:43.439
 proving to be

00:16:43.439 --> 00:16:44.480
 the true son

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:46.120
 and he wins

00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:46.899
 the first round.

00:16:50.019 --> 00:16:50.819
 Second round.

00:16:50.820 --> 00:16:53.200
 temptation number

00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:53.600
 two,

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:54.620
 verses five

00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:55.160
 through seven.

00:16:56.280 --> 00:16:56.900
 The setting

00:16:56.900 --> 00:16:58.020
 from the stones

00:16:58.020 --> 00:16:58.600
 in the wilderness

00:16:58.600 --> 00:16:59.620
 the devil takes

00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:00.680
 Jesus to the

00:17:00.680 --> 00:17:02.120
 highest point

00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:02.879
 of the temple

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:03.580
 in Jerusalem.

00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:04.080
 You see that

00:17:04.080 --> 00:17:04.860
 in verse five.

00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:06.460
 Now whether this

00:17:06.460 --> 00:17:07.600
 is a real

00:17:07.600 --> 00:17:08.720
 actual physical

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:09.519
 taking Jesus

00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:10.080
 to the temple

00:17:10.080 --> 00:17:10.779
 or this is some

00:17:10.779 --> 00:17:11.340
 kind of vision,

00:17:11.860 --> 00:17:13.019
 it's not clear

00:17:13.019 --> 00:17:14.299
 but what is clear

00:17:14.299 --> 00:17:15.160
 is that the

00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:16.400
 temptation is real.

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.660
 And we read

00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:19.280
 the temptation

00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:20.880
 in verse six.

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.640
 If you are the

00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:24.340
 son of God

00:17:24.340 --> 00:17:25.080
 throw yourself

00:17:25.080 --> 00:17:25.580
 down.

00:17:28.620 --> 00:17:29.100
 Again,

00:17:29.360 --> 00:17:30.220
 the devil

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:31.880
 is trying to

00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:32.480
 play on the

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:33.220
 son of God

00:17:33.220 --> 00:17:34.080
 thing that God

00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:34.500
 has already

00:17:34.500 --> 00:17:34.920
 announced.

00:17:35.040 --> 00:17:35.660
 If you are the

00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:36.580
 son of God

00:17:36.580 --> 00:17:37.700
 he's seeking

00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:38.660
 to cause Jesus

00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:40.160
 to misuse

00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:40.980
 his sonship.

00:17:41.060 --> 00:17:41.580
 He wants to

00:17:41.580 --> 00:17:43.140
 disqualify Jesus

00:17:43.140 --> 00:17:44.519
 and undermine

00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:45.519
 our salvation.

00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:49.580
 the temptation

00:17:49.580 --> 00:17:50.960
 is Jesus

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:51.500
 throw yourself

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:51.759
 down.

00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:52.259
 They are like

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:52.800
 three hundred

00:17:52.800 --> 00:17:53.780
 feet above

00:17:53.780 --> 00:17:55.060
 a valley

00:17:55.060 --> 00:17:56.420
 on the temple.

00:17:57.660 --> 00:17:57.820
 He said

00:17:57.820 --> 00:17:58.380
 throw yourself

00:17:58.380 --> 00:17:59.440
 down from

00:17:59.440 --> 00:17:59.980
 his height.

00:18:00.980 --> 00:18:01.420
 He is saying

00:18:01.420 --> 00:18:02.000
 willingly,

00:18:02.300 --> 00:18:02.900
 Jesus will you

00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:04.259
 willingly put

00:18:04.259 --> 00:18:05.480
 yourself in

00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:06.400
 harm's way

00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:06.840
 Jesus.

00:18:07.560 --> 00:18:07.940
 Let's see what

00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:08.300
 God does.

00:18:08.580 --> 00:18:08.820
 Let's see what

00:18:08.820 --> 00:18:09.280
 your father does.

00:18:11.120 --> 00:18:11.400
 Now,

00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:14.380
 the devil is

00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:14.980
 pretty slick.

00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:17.840
 because

00:18:17.840 --> 00:18:19.700
 the reason

00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:20.440
 he gives,

00:18:22.080 --> 00:18:23.180
 he quotes

00:18:23.180 --> 00:18:23.740
 the Bible.

00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:25.759
 There's one

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:26.280
 other it is

00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:26.940
 written in

00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:27.640
 this passage.

00:18:28.320 --> 00:18:28.940
 It comes

00:18:28.940 --> 00:18:29.560
 from the lips

00:18:29.560 --> 00:18:30.900
 of the devil.

00:18:32.800 --> 00:18:33.000
 Throw

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:33.700
 yourself down,

00:18:33.820 --> 00:18:34.360
 son of God,

00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:34.840
 for it is

00:18:34.840 --> 00:18:35.060
 written,

00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:35.759
 he will command

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:36.160
 his angels

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:36.880
 concerning you.

00:18:36.940 --> 00:18:37.180
 On their

00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:37.640
 hands they

00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:37.960
 will bear

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:38.360
 you up,

00:18:38.660 --> 00:18:38.980
 lest you

00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:39.400
 strike your

00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:39.880
 foot against

00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:40.120
 toes.

00:18:40.120 --> 00:18:40.900
 You won't

00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:41.320
 even step

00:18:41.320 --> 00:18:41.820
 your toe.

00:18:41.819 --> 00:18:44.500
 It is

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:45.439
 written very

00:18:45.439 --> 00:18:45.839
 slick.

00:18:46.099 --> 00:18:47.039
 Very slick.

00:18:47.919 --> 00:18:48.460
 Evidently,

00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:49.059
 the devil knows

00:18:49.059 --> 00:18:49.519
 the Bible.

00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:52.899
 He's lousy

00:18:52.899 --> 00:18:53.379
 at applying

00:18:53.379 --> 00:18:53.839
 it, but he

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:54.299
 knows it.

00:18:56.539 --> 00:18:57.279
 Not even

00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:57.700
 lousy.

00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:58.639
 He intentionally

00:18:58.639 --> 00:18:59.619
 misapplies it.

00:19:01.939 --> 00:19:02.480
 Now,

00:19:02.579 --> 00:19:03.059
 remember what

00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:03.519
 just happened.

00:19:04.159 --> 00:19:04.519
 This is

00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:05.039
 instructive.

00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:06.980
 Jesus just

00:19:06.980 --> 00:19:07.700
 resisted the

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:08.559
 devil by saying,

00:19:09.259 --> 00:19:10.179
 hey, I live

00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:11.460
 by every word

00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:12.320
 that proceeds

00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:12.940
 from the

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:13.580
 mouth of

00:19:13.580 --> 00:19:14.000
 God.

00:19:16.060 --> 00:19:16.460
 So,

00:19:16.539 --> 00:19:16.779
 the devil

00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:17.100
 says,

00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:17.500
 oh,

00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:19.060
 oh,

00:19:19.060 --> 00:19:19.380
 really?

00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:21.340
 Well,

00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:21.640
 how about

00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:21.900
 this?

00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:22.279
 Put this

00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:22.580
 on for

00:19:22.580 --> 00:19:22.759
 size,

00:19:22.860 --> 00:19:23.060
 son of

00:19:23.060 --> 00:19:23.259
 God.

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:24.140
 If you

00:19:24.140 --> 00:19:24.640
 live by

00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:25.160
 every word

00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:25.420
 from the

00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:25.740
 mouth of

00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:25.940
 God,

00:19:26.140 --> 00:19:26.500
 how about

00:19:26.500 --> 00:19:26.840
 you live

00:19:26.840 --> 00:19:27.420
 by this?

00:19:27.420 --> 00:19:28.100
 Psalm 91,

00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:28.460
 11,

00:19:28.539 --> 00:19:28.820
 and 12.

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:30.820
 How about

00:19:30.820 --> 00:19:31.100
 this,

00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:31.420
 Jesus?

00:19:31.820 --> 00:19:32.360
 Let's go up

00:19:32.360 --> 00:19:32.560
 on the

00:19:32.560 --> 00:19:32.759
 temple,

00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:33.180
 let's throw

00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:33.820
 yourself down,

00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:34.480
 and let's

00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:35.259
 see you live

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:36.180
 by Psalm 91,

00:19:36.320 --> 00:19:36.480
 11,

00:19:36.539 --> 00:19:36.799
 and 12.

00:19:37.460 --> 00:19:37.720
 Throw

00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:38.440
 yourself down,

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:38.860
 and as you're

00:19:38.860 --> 00:19:39.160
 falling,

00:19:39.299 --> 00:19:39.740
 let's see if

00:19:39.740 --> 00:19:40.180
 God the

00:19:40.180 --> 00:19:41.720
 Father commands

00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:42.380
 his angels to

00:19:42.380 --> 00:19:42.720
 come,

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:43.180
 gather you

00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:43.420
 with their

00:19:43.420 --> 00:19:43.799
 hands,

00:19:44.019 --> 00:19:44.500
 and protect

00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:44.799
 you from

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:45.299
 falling and

00:19:45.299 --> 00:19:45.579
 smashing.

00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:46.980
 Jesus,

00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:49.200
 put your

00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:50.579
 money where

00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:50.960
 your mouth

00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:51.259
 is.

00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:53.759
 You see

00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:54.019
 what the

00:19:54.019 --> 00:19:54.319
 devil is

00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:54.559
 doing?

00:19:56.339 --> 00:19:56.900
 He's saying,

00:19:57.019 --> 00:19:57.359
 prove it,

00:19:57.420 --> 00:19:57.640
 Jesus.

00:19:58.519 --> 00:19:59.240
 If you're the

00:19:59.240 --> 00:19:59.900
 son of God,

00:20:01.059 --> 00:20:01.960
 live by

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:03.000
 God's word.

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:03.039
 God's word.

00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:05.420
 And what the

00:20:05.420 --> 00:20:06.019
 devil is doing

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:06.500
 is he's trying

00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:06.980
 to corner

00:20:06.980 --> 00:20:08.720
 Jesus with

00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:09.460
 God's word.

00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:09.880
 It's a

00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:10.920
 misapplication

00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:11.480
 of the

00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:11.779
 Bible.

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:12.880
 He's trying

00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:13.319
 to use

00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:13.920
 God's word

00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:14.799
 to disqualify

00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:15.160
 Jesus,

00:20:15.259 --> 00:20:15.700
 to trap

00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:15.859
 him.

00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:18.259
 Now,

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:19.720
 just to

00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:20.359
 remind you,

00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:21.700
 the devil

00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:22.220
 has been

00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:22.920
 distorting

00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:23.799
 God's word

00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:24.299
 from the

00:20:24.299 --> 00:20:25.140
 very beginning.

00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:26.519
 You remember

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:26.900
 this?

00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:28.500
 To Eve?

00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:32.980
 Did God

00:20:32.980 --> 00:20:34.039
 actually say

00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:34.720
 you shall

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:36.240
 can't eat

00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:36.640
 of any

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:37.220
 tree from

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:37.660
 the garden?

00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:39.339
 Did God

00:20:39.339 --> 00:20:39.900
 really say

00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:40.619
 that to Eve?

00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:44.680
 Puts a little

00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:45.119
 doubt in her

00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:45.339
 head.

00:20:46.059 --> 00:20:46.259
 And then

00:20:46.259 --> 00:20:46.660
 remember this

00:20:46.660 --> 00:20:46.859
 one?

00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:47.599
 This is also

00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.259
 Genesis 3.

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.279
 Eve,

00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:54.480
 you shall

00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:54.960
 not surely

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:55.359
 die.

00:20:56.859 --> 00:20:57.700
 If you eat

00:20:57.700 --> 00:20:57.960
 that,

00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:58.960
 eat from

00:20:58.960 --> 00:20:59.299
 that tree,

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:00.140
 you won't

00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:00.460
 die.

00:21:00.600 --> 00:21:01.100
 God's just

00:21:01.100 --> 00:21:02.019
 being dramatic.

00:21:04.100 --> 00:21:04.660
 It's a

00:21:04.660 --> 00:21:05.460
 clear distortion

00:21:05.460 --> 00:21:06.000
 of God's

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:06.160
 word.

00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:07.579
 The devil

00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:08.059
 has been

00:21:08.059 --> 00:21:08.620
 distorting

00:21:08.620 --> 00:21:09.140
 and misusing

00:21:09.140 --> 00:21:09.720
 God's word

00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:10.039
 from the

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:10.640
 very beginning.

00:21:11.100 --> 00:21:11.700
 He is the

00:21:11.700 --> 00:21:12.180
 father of

00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:12.480
 lies.

00:21:12.620 --> 00:21:12.819
 And so

00:21:12.819 --> 00:21:14.240
 though Psalm

00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:15.279
 91 does

00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:16.059
 promise safety

00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:16.640
 to those

00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:17.220
 who trust

00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:17.799
 God,

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:19.380
 the devil

00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:20.340
 is intentionally

00:21:20.340 --> 00:21:21.440
 misapplying

00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:21.840
 it.

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:23.519
 Nowhere in

00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:24.380
 Psalm 91

00:21:24.380 --> 00:21:24.840
 is the

00:21:24.840 --> 00:21:25.519
 believer told

00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:26.840
 to intentionally

00:21:26.840 --> 00:21:27.900
 put themselves

00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:28.860
 in harm's

00:21:28.860 --> 00:21:29.720
 way in order

00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:30.680
 to obligate

00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:31.160
 God to

00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:31.640
 save them.

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:32.080
 There's no

00:21:32.080 --> 00:21:32.440
 way in

00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:32.960
 Psalm 91

00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:33.360
 it says

00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:33.580
 that.

00:21:37.580 --> 00:21:38.280
 What we

00:21:38.280 --> 00:21:38.700
 see in

00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:39.220
 Psalm 91

00:21:39.220 --> 00:21:39.820
 is a

00:21:39.820 --> 00:21:40.460
 live by

00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:40.960
 faith,

00:21:41.040 --> 00:21:41.440
 a humble

00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:41.800
 faith,

00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:42.480
 trusting in

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:42.960
 your God

00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:43.920
 and trust

00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.620
 that he

00:21:44.620 --> 00:21:45.240
 is going

00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:45.740
 to keep

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.200
 you safe.

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:48.500
 what Satan

00:21:48.500 --> 00:21:49.120
 is subtly

00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:49.680
 doing is

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:49.980
 tempting

00:21:49.980 --> 00:21:50.480
 Jesus,

00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:51.620
 the son

00:21:51.620 --> 00:21:52.039
 of God,

00:21:52.120 --> 00:21:52.519
 the second

00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:53.080
 person of

00:21:53.080 --> 00:21:53.539
 the Trinity

00:21:53.539 --> 00:21:54.580
 to elevate

00:21:54.580 --> 00:21:55.500
 himself over

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:56.039
 the father,

00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:56.580
 the first

00:21:56.580 --> 00:21:57.059
 person of

00:21:57.059 --> 00:21:57.460
 the Trinity

00:21:57.460 --> 00:21:58.340
 to force

00:21:58.340 --> 00:21:58.900
 the father

00:21:58.900 --> 00:21:59.460
 to do

00:21:59.460 --> 00:22:00.319
 the son's

00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.640
 bidding.

00:22:02.819 --> 00:22:03.580
 Satan is

00:22:03.580 --> 00:22:03.880
 tempting

00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:05.140
 Jesus through

00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:05.700
 a misuse

00:22:05.700 --> 00:22:06.140
 of Psalm

00:22:06.140 --> 00:22:06.920
 91 to

00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:07.400
 force the

00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:07.840
 father's

00:22:07.840 --> 00:22:08.340
 hands and

00:22:08.340 --> 00:22:09.819
 Jesus sees

00:22:09.819 --> 00:22:10.279
 right through

00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:10.660
 it.

00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:14.700
 I know

00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:14.940
 you.

00:22:16.320 --> 00:22:17.019
 I know

00:22:17.019 --> 00:22:17.300
 you from

00:22:17.300 --> 00:22:17.660
 the very

00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:18.019
 beginning.

00:22:19.800 --> 00:22:20.560
 And Jesus'

00:22:20.740 --> 00:22:21.680
 response in

00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:22.680
 verse 7 of

00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:23.480
 chapter 4 is

00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:23.860
 this.

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:25.640
 Again, it

00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:26.220
 is written.

00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:27.180
 It is written.

00:22:27.300 --> 00:22:27.920
 There it is.

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:28.820
 He's standing

00:22:28.820 --> 00:22:29.360
 on the word

00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:29.779
 of God.

00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:33.100
 He uses

00:22:33.100 --> 00:22:33.860
 God's word

00:22:33.860 --> 00:22:34.680
 to correct

00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:35.500
 a misuse

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:36.080
 of God's

00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:36.320
 word.

00:22:38.320 --> 00:22:39.060
 You shall

00:22:39.060 --> 00:22:39.580
 not put the

00:22:39.580 --> 00:22:39.900
 Lord your

00:22:39.900 --> 00:22:40.500
 God to the

00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:40.880
 test.

00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:42.980
 I see what

00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:43.500
 you're doing.

00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:44.900
 You shall

00:22:44.900 --> 00:22:45.759
 not put the

00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:46.319
 Lord your

00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:47.240
 God to the

00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:47.619
 test.

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:48.660
 I'm not

00:22:48.660 --> 00:22:48.960
 going to

00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:49.539
 test him,

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:50.059
 devil.

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:52.980
 He's quoting

00:22:52.980 --> 00:22:53.500
 Deuteronomy

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:54.779
 6.16 which

00:22:54.779 --> 00:22:55.440
 says in full,

00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:55.980
 you shall not

00:22:55.980 --> 00:22:56.319
 put the

00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:56.640
 Lord your

00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:57.019
 God to

00:22:57.019 --> 00:22:57.440
 the test

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:58.119
 as you

00:22:58.119 --> 00:22:58.859
 tested him

00:22:58.859 --> 00:22:59.859
 at Massa.

00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:01.099
 It's a

00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:01.619
 reference to

00:23:01.619 --> 00:23:03.279
 Exodus 17.

00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:05.039
 Israel,

00:23:05.299 --> 00:23:05.559
 again,

00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.019
 is in the

00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:06.299
 wilderness

00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:07.039
 deprived of

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.980
 water and

00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:08.400
 they start

00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:09.019
 to complain.

00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:09.559
 Wah,

00:23:09.619 --> 00:23:09.799
 wah,

00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:10.160
 wah.

00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:10.800
 Where's

00:23:10.800 --> 00:23:11.300
 the water?

00:23:11.420 --> 00:23:11.779
 Moses,

00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:12.560
 wah,

00:23:12.779 --> 00:23:13.259
 where's the

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:13.640
 water?

00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:14.340
 We're thirsty.

00:23:14.840 --> 00:23:15.400
 Why'd you

00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:15.779
 bring us

00:23:15.779 --> 00:23:16.220
 out of

00:23:16.220 --> 00:23:16.580
 Egypt?

00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:17.340
 We're so

00:23:17.340 --> 00:23:17.860
 thirsty.

00:23:18.620 --> 00:23:19.180
 They have

00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:19.920
 water there.

00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:21.779
 Seriously,

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:22.340
 we're going to

00:23:22.340 --> 00:23:22.860
 die.

00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:24.740
 So thirsty.

00:23:26.320 --> 00:23:26.820
 And they're

00:23:26.820 --> 00:23:27.460
 complaining to

00:23:27.460 --> 00:23:27.940
 Moses.

00:23:29.100 --> 00:23:29.600
 And Moses

00:23:29.600 --> 00:23:30.519
 responds to

00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:30.640
 them,

00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:31.140
 why are you

00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:31.880
 complaining to

00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:32.240
 me?

00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:33.019
 Why are you

00:23:33.019 --> 00:23:33.620
 testing the

00:23:33.620 --> 00:23:34.019
 Lord?

00:23:34.019 --> 00:23:34.980
 Why are you

00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:35.940
 testing the Lord?

00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:37.080
 And in

00:23:37.080 --> 00:23:38.360
 chapter 17,

00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:39.100
 verse 7,

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:40.799
 Moses sums

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.460
 it up by

00:23:41.460 --> 00:23:43.140
 summarizing what

00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:43.660
 Israel is

00:23:43.660 --> 00:23:44.759
 saying is that

00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:46.140
 they're asking,

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:46.940
 is the Lord

00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:48.100
 among us or

00:23:48.100 --> 00:23:48.539
 not?

00:23:48.620 --> 00:23:49.279
 We're thirsty!

00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:54.900
 Israel's

00:23:54.900 --> 00:23:55.559
 testing of

00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:56.120
 God was

00:23:56.120 --> 00:23:56.860
 Israel's

00:23:56.860 --> 00:23:57.680
 doubting of

00:23:57.680 --> 00:23:58.039
 God.

00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:01.480
 Satan was

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:02.119
 trying to

00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:03.480
 lure Jesus

00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:04.279
 into putting

00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:04.920
 God to the

00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:05.559
 test in

00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:06.119
 order to

00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:07.279
 prove Jesus

00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:08.220
 is the

00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:08.579
 Son of

00:24:08.579 --> 00:24:08.980
 God.

00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:10.220
 And that

00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:11.019
 whole line

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:12.019
 there actually

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:12.920
 disproves,

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:13.940
 disqualifies

00:24:13.940 --> 00:24:14.240
 Him.

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:16.819
 But Jesus

00:24:16.819 --> 00:24:17.440
 knows better.

00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:20.000
 He's not

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:20.420
 going to put

00:24:20.420 --> 00:24:21.220
 the Lord

00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:21.759
 His God

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.099
 to the

00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:22.519
 test.

00:24:23.379 --> 00:24:24.000
 He's going

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:24.379
 to be the

00:24:24.379 --> 00:24:25.259
 faithful son.

00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:25.599
 He's going

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.079
 to trust

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:26.680
 and obey.

00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:27.960
 He's going

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:28.400
 to prove

00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:28.640
 His

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:29.220
 sonship

00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:29.720
 to His

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.180
 Father.

00:24:30.779 --> 00:24:31.180
 There's no

00:24:31.180 --> 00:24:32.420
 need for

00:24:32.420 --> 00:24:32.880
 any of

00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:33.460
 this stuff,

00:24:33.580 --> 00:24:34.000
 any of

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:35.259
 this sensationalism.

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:36.320
 He's not

00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:36.560
 going to

00:24:36.560 --> 00:24:37.060
 throw Himself

00:24:37.060 --> 00:24:38.039
 down from

00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:38.560
 the temple

00:24:38.560 --> 00:24:40.000
 because God's

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.600
 not asking

00:24:40.600 --> 00:24:41.100
 Him to do

00:24:41.100 --> 00:24:41.460
 that.

00:24:43.980 --> 00:24:45.039
 In fact,

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:47.279
 not yet.

00:24:50.180 --> 00:24:51.519
 Jesus will

00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:52.039
 one day

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:52.519
 give His

00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:52.840
 life.

00:24:54.080 --> 00:24:54.600
 He will

00:24:54.600 --> 00:24:55.740
 voluntarily

00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:56.500
 put Himself

00:24:56.500 --> 00:24:57.140
 in harm's

00:24:57.140 --> 00:24:57.400
 way.

00:24:58.559 --> 00:24:59.240
 But that

00:24:59.240 --> 00:24:59.900
 comes later.

00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:02.099
 That comes

00:25:02.099 --> 00:25:02.579
 later.

00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:04.960
 In Golgotha,

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:06.720
 in the cross,

00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:07.839
 the suffering

00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:08.339
 servant,

00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:09.319
 Isaiah 53,

00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:11.859
 Jesus becomes

00:25:11.859 --> 00:25:13.299
 sin for us.

00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:15.240
 He doesn't

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:16.119
 put God

00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:16.920
 to the test.

00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:18.160
 He actually

00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:19.200
 submits Himself

00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:19.940
 to the will

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:20.500
 of the Father.

00:25:20.579 --> 00:25:21.339
 Remember Gethsemane?

00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:21.920
 Not my will,

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:22.460
 but your will

00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:22.880
 be done.

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:22.940
 And

00:25:22.940 --> 00:25:25.420
 there it is.

00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:26.880
 Matthew 26.

00:25:28.120 --> 00:25:29.000
 Jesus submitting

00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:29.759
 Himself again

00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:30.220
 to the will

00:25:30.220 --> 00:25:30.660
 of the Father.

00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:32.860
 Jesus will

00:25:32.860 --> 00:25:33.460
 one time,

00:25:33.580 --> 00:25:33.920
 one day,

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:34.600
 give His life

00:25:34.600 --> 00:25:34.880
 up,

00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:36.019
 not by throwing

00:25:36.019 --> 00:25:36.600
 it down from

00:25:36.600 --> 00:25:36.960
 the temple,

00:25:37.100 --> 00:25:37.800
 but by hanging

00:25:37.800 --> 00:25:38.820
 on a cursed

00:25:38.820 --> 00:25:39.580
 cross.

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:42.940
 And in so

00:25:42.940 --> 00:25:43.279
 doing,

00:25:44.100 --> 00:25:44.620
 obey the

00:25:44.620 --> 00:25:45.200
 Father's will.

00:25:46.800 --> 00:25:47.560
 Jesus says,

00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:48.440
 I'm not buying

00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:49.060
 this stuff.

00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:50.620
 I'm not throwing

00:25:50.620 --> 00:25:51.519
 myself down.

00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:52.539
 I'm not putting

00:25:52.539 --> 00:25:53.480
 God to the test.

00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:54.519
 I'm going to

00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:55.259
 submit myself

00:25:55.259 --> 00:25:55.700
 to the will

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:56.220
 of the Father

00:25:56.220 --> 00:25:57.299
 because I'm His

00:25:57.299 --> 00:25:57.480
 Son.

00:25:59.000 --> 00:25:59.720
 Jesus wins

00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:00.180
 round two.

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:03.819
 Round three.

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:06.000
 Verses eight

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:06.440
 through ten.

00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:08.039
 The setting.

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:09.480
 The devil

00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:09.980
 takes Him

00:26:09.980 --> 00:26:10.599
 to a very

00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:11.259
 high mountain.

00:26:11.660 --> 00:26:12.019
 You see this

00:26:12.019 --> 00:26:12.639
 in verse eight.

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:13.200
 And shows Him

00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:13.879
 all the kingdoms

00:26:13.879 --> 00:26:14.480
 of the world

00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:14.980
 and their glory.

00:26:15.099 --> 00:26:15.200
 Now,

00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:16.740
 we all know

00:26:16.740 --> 00:26:17.619
 that there's not

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:18.400
 one mountain

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:19.460
 high enough

00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:20.160
 where we can

00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:20.840
 go to and

00:26:20.840 --> 00:26:21.579
 see all the

00:26:21.579 --> 00:26:22.100
 kingdoms of

00:26:22.100 --> 00:26:22.360
 the world

00:26:22.360 --> 00:26:22.759
 at once.

00:26:22.840 --> 00:26:23.460
 So mostly,

00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:24.059
 likely,

00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:24.759
 this is some

00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:25.360
 kind of a

00:26:25.360 --> 00:26:25.720
 vision.

00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:28.319
 But what

00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:29.680
 Satan is

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:31.559
 doing is

00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:32.660
 trying to

00:26:32.660 --> 00:26:33.319
 shortcut

00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:35.519
 the Savior's

00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:35.819
 mission.

00:26:37.019 --> 00:26:37.740
 He's trying

00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:38.240
 to tempt

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:39.200
 Him to

00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:40.100
 idolatry

00:26:40.100 --> 00:26:41.380
 and shortcut

00:26:41.380 --> 00:26:43.000
 the mission.

00:26:44.500 --> 00:26:45.019
 Now,

00:26:45.120 --> 00:26:45.720
 imagine this.

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.539
 If this was

00:26:47.539 --> 00:26:48.279
 modern day,

00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:50.319
 times,

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.779
 Satan showing

00:26:52.779 --> 00:26:53.859
 Jesus all

00:26:53.859 --> 00:26:55.200
 the metropolitan

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:56.559
 areas of the

00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:57.740

00:27:14.879 --> 00:27:15.660

00:27:26.120 --> 00:27:26.880
 You can have

00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:27.319
 that too.

00:27:29.180 --> 00:27:30.279
 The glories of

00:27:33.420 --> 00:27:34.200
 the glories of

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:35.079
 political force

00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:35.620

 You can have

 You can have

00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:39.839

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:44.980
 You can have

00:27:44.980 --> 00:27:45.480
 all this,

00:27:45.679 --> 00:27:45.919
 Jesus,

00:27:46.639 --> 00:27:48.919
 if you would

00:27:48.919 --> 00:27:49.279
 just bow

00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:49.659
 down and

00:27:49.659 --> 00:27:50.199
 worship me.

00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:52.679
 You can have

00:27:52.679 --> 00:27:53.279
 all the kingdoms

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:53.959
 of the world

00:27:53.959 --> 00:27:54.240
 and their

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:54.740
 glories.

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:56.220
 They can all

00:27:56.220 --> 00:27:56.799
 be yours

00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:58.939
 if you just

00:27:58.939 --> 00:27:59.579
 worship me.

00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:04.179
 We've got a

00:28:04.179 --> 00:28:04.839
 different tactic

00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:05.599
 going on here.

00:28:06.919 --> 00:28:07.339
 Do you notice

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:07.839
 there's no

00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:09.099
 if you're

00:28:09.099 --> 00:28:09.399
 the son

00:28:09.399 --> 00:28:09.859
 of God?

00:28:12.439 --> 00:28:12.819
 He just,

00:28:12.959 --> 00:28:13.720
 all pretense

00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:14.159
 is gone,

00:28:14.259 --> 00:28:14.579
 out the

00:28:14.579 --> 00:28:14.839
 window.

00:28:16.299 --> 00:28:16.720
 It's like,

00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:16.899
 hey,

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:17.579
 I'll give you

00:28:17.579 --> 00:28:17.839
 all this

00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:18.279
 stuff if

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:18.579
 you'll just

00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:19.939
 worship me.

00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:22.720
 Why doesn't

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.599
 Satan start

00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:24.199
 with if you're

00:28:24.199 --> 00:28:24.559
 the son

00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:25.000
 of God?

00:28:26.939 --> 00:28:27.740
 Maybe he's

00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:28.519
 realizing it's

00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:29.279
 working against

00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:29.559
 him.

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:32.000
 Maybe he

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:32.919
 realizes that,

00:28:33.139 --> 00:28:33.240
 hey,

00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:34.579
 the first two

00:28:34.579 --> 00:28:34.899
 rounds,

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:35.639
 Jesus won

00:28:35.639 --> 00:28:35.980
 and that's

00:28:35.980 --> 00:28:36.579
 not working.

00:28:36.579 --> 00:28:37.879
 So let's

00:28:37.879 --> 00:28:38.960
 get rid of

00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:39.599
 all pretenses

00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:40.059
 and let's

00:28:40.059 --> 00:28:40.419
 get down

00:28:40.419 --> 00:28:40.819
 right to

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:41.019
 it.

00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:42.980
 Jesus,

00:28:43.099 --> 00:28:43.399
 I'll give

00:28:43.399 --> 00:28:43.639
 you all

00:28:43.639 --> 00:28:44.039
 this stuff

00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:44.399
 if you'll

00:28:44.399 --> 00:28:44.740
 just

00:28:44.740 --> 00:28:45.759
 worship me.

00:28:47.659 --> 00:28:48.240
 And in

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:48.779
 so doing,

00:28:48.879 --> 00:28:49.220
 in verse

00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:49.579
 nine,

00:28:50.740 --> 00:28:51.839
 we see

00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:52.419
 the vain

00:28:52.419 --> 00:28:53.079
 glorious

00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:53.899
 imposter

00:28:53.899 --> 00:28:55.179
 that Satan

00:28:55.179 --> 00:28:56.000
 is.

00:28:57.779 --> 00:28:58.460
 If you'll

00:28:58.460 --> 00:28:58.960
 fall down

00:28:58.960 --> 00:28:59.419
 and worship

00:28:59.419 --> 00:28:59.799
 me.

00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:03.139
 Let's just

00:29:03.139 --> 00:29:03.500
 think about

00:29:03.500 --> 00:29:03.699
 it this

00:29:03.699 --> 00:29:03.859
 way.

00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:05.659
 The devil

00:29:05.660 --> 00:29:07.220
 who's a

00:29:07.220 --> 00:29:07.620
 created

00:29:07.620 --> 00:29:08.040
 being

00:29:08.040 --> 00:29:10.000
 is tempting

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:10.460
 the son

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:10.980
 of God,

00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:11.940
 the eternal

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:12.680
 son of

00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:12.960
 God,

00:29:13.080 --> 00:29:13.620
 second person

00:29:13.620 --> 00:29:13.900
 of the

00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:14.200
 trinity,

00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:16.180
 to worship

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:17.340
 him,

00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:20.100
 a created

00:29:20.100 --> 00:29:20.460
 being.

00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:22.000
 This is

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:22.680
 blatant

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:23.740
 idolatry.

00:29:26.620 --> 00:29:27.360
 I mean,

00:29:27.420 --> 00:29:28.040
 it verges on

00:29:28.040 --> 00:29:28.900
 being ridiculous.

00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:32.420
 Satan has

00:29:32.420 --> 00:29:33.480
 always wanted

00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:34.280
 what belongs

00:29:34.280 --> 00:29:34.720
 to God

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:35.180
 alone,

00:29:36.120 --> 00:29:36.680
 exclusive

00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:37.259
 worship.

00:29:37.580 --> 00:29:38.440
 What caused

00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:39.160
 the fall of

00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:39.580
 Satan to

00:29:39.580 --> 00:29:40.200
 begin with

00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:40.600
 was his

00:29:40.600 --> 00:29:41.420
 lifting himself

00:29:41.420 --> 00:29:41.940
 up to the

00:29:41.940 --> 00:29:42.380
 place of

00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:42.980
 God to be

00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:43.519
 worshiped.

00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:44.140
 And he got

00:29:44.140 --> 00:29:45.000
 expelled from

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:45.700
 God's presence

00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:46.280
 because of

00:29:46.280 --> 00:29:46.400
 it.

00:29:46.840 --> 00:29:47.200
 He's a

00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:48.019
 glory stealer.

00:29:48.840 --> 00:29:49.240
 And so what

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:50.680
 Satan wants

00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:51.259
 is for the

00:29:51.259 --> 00:29:51.960
 son of God

00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:52.720
 to bow down

00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:53.140
 and worship

00:29:53.140 --> 00:29:53.380
 him.

00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:54.060
 In order for

00:29:54.060 --> 00:29:54.500
 the son of

00:29:54.500 --> 00:29:54.900
 God to bow

00:29:54.900 --> 00:29:55.240
 down and

00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:55.780
 worship him,

00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:56.500
 the son of

00:29:56.500 --> 00:29:56.780
 God would

00:29:56.780 --> 00:29:57.180
 have to turn

00:29:57.180 --> 00:29:57.680
 his back

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.120
 on the

00:29:58.120 --> 00:29:58.700
 father and

00:29:58.700 --> 00:29:58.920
 say,

00:29:59.019 --> 00:29:59.299
 sorry,

00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:00.060
 I'm no

00:30:00.060 --> 00:30:00.299
 longer

00:30:00.299 --> 00:30:00.820
 exclusively

00:30:00.820 --> 00:30:01.360
 devoted to

00:30:01.360 --> 00:30:01.620
 you.

00:30:02.620 --> 00:30:03.400
 I'm going

00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:03.820
 to get all

00:30:03.820 --> 00:30:04.400
 these kingdoms

00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:05.600
 in order to

00:30:05.600 --> 00:30:06.340
 worship him.

00:30:08.080 --> 00:30:08.700
 It's the

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:09.440
 cardinal sin.

00:30:09.600 --> 00:30:09.779
 It's the

00:30:09.779 --> 00:30:10.240
 worship of

00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:11.060
 another God.

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:13.779
 But it's

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.200
 also a

00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:14.519
 shortcut.

00:30:17.140 --> 00:30:17.920
 What Satan

00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:18.440
 is offering

00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:19.440
 Jesus is

00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:19.900
 all the

00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:20.440
 kingdoms of

00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:20.900
 the world

00:30:20.900 --> 00:30:21.320
 without

00:30:21.320 --> 00:30:21.880
 suffering.

00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:24.680
 It's

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:25.340
 undermining

00:30:25.340 --> 00:30:25.840
 the very

00:30:25.840 --> 00:30:26.500
 mission of

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:26.640
 the

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:28.020
 son of

00:30:28.020 --> 00:30:28.380
 God.

00:30:29.820 --> 00:30:30.440
 Would you

00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:30.820
 turn in

00:30:30.820 --> 00:30:30.960
 your

00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:31.600
 Bibles to

00:30:31.600 --> 00:30:31.880
 Matthew

00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:32.759
 chapter 28?

00:30:35.040 --> 00:30:35.580
 This

00:30:35.580 --> 00:30:36.380
 comes after

00:30:36.380 --> 00:30:36.759
 Jesus

00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:37.320
 suffers,

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:38.720
 after he's

00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:39.220
 crucified,

00:30:39.580 --> 00:30:39.840
 dead,

00:30:40.020 --> 00:30:40.340
 buried,

00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:40.880
 and raised

00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:41.259
 from the

00:30:41.259 --> 00:30:41.480
 dead.

00:30:43.320 --> 00:30:43.980
 I just

00:30:43.980 --> 00:30:44.800
 want your

00:30:44.800 --> 00:30:45.280
 eyes to

00:30:45.280 --> 00:30:45.800
 fall upon

00:30:45.800 --> 00:30:46.200
 something.

00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:47.600
 Matthew

00:30:47.600 --> 00:30:48.520
 chapter 28

00:30:48.520 --> 00:30:49.520
 verse 18.

00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:50.380
 This is the

00:30:50.380 --> 00:30:51.000
 great commission.

00:30:51.840 --> 00:30:52.500
 This is after

00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:53.320
 all of his

00:30:53.320 --> 00:30:54.240
 suffering.

00:30:55.360 --> 00:30:55.680
 And Jesus

00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:56.140
 came and

00:30:56.140 --> 00:30:56.400
 said to

00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:56.980
 his disciples,

00:30:57.780 --> 00:31:00.580
 all authority

00:31:00.580 --> 00:31:02.780
 in heaven

00:31:02.780 --> 00:31:04.340
 and on

00:31:04.340 --> 00:31:05.800
 earth has

00:31:05.800 --> 00:31:06.180
 been given

00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:06.759
 to me.

00:31:08.980 --> 00:31:09.740
 All of

00:31:09.740 --> 00:31:10.160
 it's mine.

00:31:11.780 --> 00:31:12.740
 It comes

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:13.820
 after his

00:31:13.820 --> 00:31:14.400
 work on the

00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:14.720
 cross.

00:31:16.460 --> 00:31:17.420
 In order

00:31:17.420 --> 00:31:18.200
 for Jesus

00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:20.220
 to accomplish

00:31:20.220 --> 00:31:21.140
 his mission,

00:31:21.300 --> 00:31:21.920
 he would have

00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:22.460
 to suffer.

00:31:25.140 --> 00:31:25.880
 Jesus knew

00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:26.560
 full well that

00:31:26.560 --> 00:31:27.220
 what lied

00:31:27.220 --> 00:31:27.720
 ahead of him

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:28.320
 was pain

00:31:28.320 --> 00:31:28.960
 and hardship,

00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:30.180
 betrayal,

00:31:30.860 --> 00:31:31.640
 that he would

00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:32.400
 have to bear

00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:32.840
 the very

00:31:32.840 --> 00:31:33.700
 wrath of the

00:31:33.700 --> 00:31:34.360
 Father in

00:31:34.360 --> 00:31:34.759
 order to

00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:35.240
 save a

00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:35.800
 people for

00:31:35.800 --> 00:31:36.300
 himself.

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.300
 And Satan

00:31:38.300 --> 00:31:39.539
 very subtly

00:31:39.539 --> 00:31:40.420
 here is saying,

00:31:40.539 --> 00:31:41.039
 hey, I'll give you

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:41.539
 a shortcut.

00:31:42.300 --> 00:31:43.140
 I'll give you all

00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:43.920
 the kingdoms of the

00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:44.380
 world and their

00:31:44.380 --> 00:31:46.380
 glory if you

00:31:46.380 --> 00:31:47.019
 just bow down

00:31:47.019 --> 00:31:47.700
 and worship me.

00:31:47.700 --> 00:31:50.240
 And then we

00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:51.660
 see in verse

00:31:51.660 --> 00:31:51.940
 10,

00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:54.460
 Jesus brings

00:31:54.460 --> 00:31:55.279
 this bout to

00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:55.640
 an end.

00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:57.720
 Be gone,

00:31:57.880 --> 00:31:58.400
 Satan, for it

00:31:58.400 --> 00:31:58.720
 is written.

00:31:59.019 --> 00:31:59.660
 Be gone,

00:31:59.980 --> 00:32:00.640
 Satan, for it

00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:00.940
 is written.

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:02.580
 We're done here,

00:32:02.860 --> 00:32:03.880
 Satan, for it

00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:04.259
 is written.

00:32:04.539 --> 00:32:05.600
 Deuteronomy 6.13,

00:32:06.120 --> 00:32:06.940
 you shall worship

00:32:06.940 --> 00:32:08.000
 the Lord your God

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:09.019
 and him only,

00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:10.039
 him only,

00:32:10.580 --> 00:32:11.700
 exclusive worship

00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:13.019
 and service.

00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:14.559
 Him only

00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:15.660
 shall you serve.

00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:17.480
 Now, Israel

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:18.560
 failed that test,

00:32:19.040 --> 00:32:19.640
 but Jesus,

00:32:19.820 --> 00:32:20.580
 the true Son,

00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:21.860
 is faithful.

00:32:23.140 --> 00:32:23.800
 He proves

00:32:23.800 --> 00:32:25.360
 himself to be

00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:26.600
 faithful in his

00:32:26.600 --> 00:32:27.779
 worship of his

00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:28.240
 Father.

00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:29.759
 What Jesus is

00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:30.180
 saying in

00:32:30.180 --> 00:32:31.160
 Deuteronomy 6.13

00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:31.820
 is that I

00:32:31.820 --> 00:32:33.700
 submit to his

00:32:33.700 --> 00:32:34.820
 word, my

00:32:34.820 --> 00:32:35.840
 Father's word,

00:32:36.040 --> 00:32:37.500
 not your word.

00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:38.380
 I don't buy

00:32:38.380 --> 00:32:38.779
 your little

00:32:38.779 --> 00:32:39.640
 half promise.

00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:41.060
 I don't buy

00:32:41.060 --> 00:32:41.800
 the shortcut.

00:32:41.800 --> 00:32:43.320
 I see what God

00:32:43.320 --> 00:32:43.900
 the Father has

00:32:43.900 --> 00:32:44.800
 called me to as

00:32:44.800 --> 00:32:45.300
 a son.

00:32:45.660 --> 00:32:46.000
 And I'm going

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:46.540
 to stick to

00:32:46.540 --> 00:32:46.740
 it.

00:32:48.100 --> 00:32:48.720
 I'm going to

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:49.080
 do it.

00:32:51.700 --> 00:32:52.740
 Jesus is saying,

00:32:53.580 --> 00:32:54.259
 I worship and

00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:55.800
 serve not no

00:32:55.800 --> 00:32:56.900
 one but my

00:32:56.900 --> 00:32:57.240
 Father.

00:32:57.380 --> 00:32:58.240
 I'm exclusively

00:32:58.240 --> 00:32:59.259
 and wholeheartedly

00:32:59.259 --> 00:32:59.980
 and by the way,

00:33:00.060 --> 00:33:02.300
 happily devoted to

00:33:02.300 --> 00:33:03.080
 him and his will.

00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:04.140
 He says,

00:33:04.300 --> 00:33:04.580
 get out of

00:33:04.580 --> 00:33:04.759
 here.

00:33:06.019 --> 00:33:06.279
 Get.

00:33:07.940 --> 00:33:09.900
 I belong to

00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:10.120
 him.

00:33:12.740 --> 00:33:13.420
 Winner of

00:33:13.420 --> 00:33:13.920
 round three,

00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:15.840
 Jesus.

00:33:18.080 --> 00:33:18.759
 He proves

00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:19.420
 himself to be

00:33:19.420 --> 00:33:20.880
 the true

00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:21.620
 son of God,

00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:22.340
 the one who

00:33:22.340 --> 00:33:23.000
 trusts and

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:23.539
 obeys his

00:33:23.539 --> 00:33:23.880
 father.

00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:24.400
 He's been

00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:24.840
 through some

00:33:24.840 --> 00:33:26.080
 extreme temptations

00:33:26.080 --> 00:33:26.640
 and he's shown

00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:27.400
 himself faithful.

00:33:28.779 --> 00:33:29.100
 And then in

00:33:29.100 --> 00:33:29.539
 verse 11,

00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:30.019
 we see the

00:33:30.019 --> 00:33:30.400
 triumph.

00:33:31.320 --> 00:33:32.120
 Don't miss

00:33:32.120 --> 00:33:33.779
 that first

00:33:33.779 --> 00:33:34.560
 little phrase,

00:33:34.800 --> 00:33:35.400
 then the devil

00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:36.000
 left him.

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:39.599
 Jesus told

00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:40.140
 him to leave

00:33:40.140 --> 00:33:40.839
 and the devil

00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:41.200
 left.

00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:43.500
 The devil

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:44.079
 obeyed.

00:33:47.500 --> 00:33:48.160
 And then

00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:48.700
 what we see

00:33:48.700 --> 00:33:49.960
 is the

00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:50.940
 angels come

00:33:50.940 --> 00:33:52.380
 and minister

00:33:52.380 --> 00:33:52.819
 to him.

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:54.359
 Surely they

00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:54.859
 brought with

00:33:54.859 --> 00:33:55.460
 them food.

00:33:56.059 --> 00:33:56.599
 Surely they

00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:57.079
 brought with

00:33:57.079 --> 00:33:57.720
 them encouragement

00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:58.180
 for his

00:33:58.180 --> 00:33:59.299
 obedience.

00:34:00.380 --> 00:34:01.299
 And surely

00:34:01.299 --> 00:34:02.000
 this is the

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:02.579
 right working

00:34:02.579 --> 00:34:03.119
 out of Psalm

00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:03.539
 91.

00:34:03.539 --> 00:34:03.659
 91.

00:34:06.619 --> 00:34:07.539
 Jesus the

00:34:07.539 --> 00:34:07.920
 son has

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:08.320
 entrusted

00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:08.960
 himself to

00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:09.480
 the father

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:11.000
 and the

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:12.360
 father commanded

00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:13.199
 his angels

00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:14.159
 concerning him

00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:15.579
 and they met

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:16.059
 his needs.

00:34:18.579 --> 00:34:20.039
 Jesus triumphed

00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:20.920
 over Satan's

00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:21.639
 temptations

00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:22.779
 proving himself

00:34:22.779 --> 00:34:23.659
 to be the

00:34:23.659 --> 00:34:24.940
 true son

00:34:24.940 --> 00:34:25.599
 of God.

00:34:26.500 --> 00:34:27.460
 This says

00:34:27.460 --> 00:34:28.900
 he's ready

00:34:28.900 --> 00:34:29.360
 to go.

00:34:30.539 --> 00:34:31.380
 He's walked

00:34:31.380 --> 00:34:31.820
 through it.

00:34:31.820 --> 00:34:33.200
 He's resisted

00:34:33.200 --> 00:34:33.700
 the devil's

00:34:33.700 --> 00:34:34.480
 temptations.

00:34:35.260 --> 00:34:36.220
 He's prepared

00:34:36.220 --> 00:34:36.820
 to start

00:34:36.820 --> 00:34:37.600
 his ministry.

00:34:38.059 --> 00:34:38.660
 A light

00:34:38.660 --> 00:34:39.700
 has

00:34:39.700 --> 00:34:40.660
 dawned.

00:34:42.200 --> 00:34:42.740
 Now

00:34:42.740 --> 00:34:45.080
 I want to

00:34:45.080 --> 00:34:45.539
 point to

00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:46.360
 three things

00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:46.920
 to walk

00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:47.400
 away with.

00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:50.019
 The first

00:34:50.019 --> 00:34:50.360
 is

00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:51.660
 man

00:34:51.660 --> 00:34:53.660
 I was

00:34:53.660 --> 00:34:53.980
 trying to

00:34:53.980 --> 00:34:54.360
 wrestle through

00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:54.720
 this this

00:34:54.720 --> 00:34:54.900
 week.

00:34:55.059 --> 00:34:55.620
 Do I

00:34:55.620 --> 00:34:56.360
 apply anything?

00:34:57.160 --> 00:34:57.800
 Because it's

00:34:57.800 --> 00:34:58.400
 awesome to

00:34:58.400 --> 00:34:59.220
 see Jesus

00:34:59.219 --> 00:35:01.039
 just resisting

00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:01.599
 the devil

00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:02.319
 successfully.

00:35:03.059 --> 00:35:03.219
 It's

00:35:03.219 --> 00:35:03.539
 awesome.

00:35:04.179 --> 00:35:04.459
 What a

00:35:04.459 --> 00:35:04.859
 God we

00:35:04.859 --> 00:35:05.099
 have.

00:35:05.379 --> 00:35:05.619
 What a

00:35:05.619 --> 00:35:05.939
 king.

00:35:06.379 --> 00:35:06.679
 What a

00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:06.959
 savior.

00:35:09.379 --> 00:35:10.179
 He did

00:35:10.179 --> 00:35:10.559
 what none

00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:10.839
 of us

00:35:10.839 --> 00:35:11.259
 could do.

00:35:13.699 --> 00:35:14.219
 He

00:35:14.219 --> 00:35:14.839
 perfectly

00:35:14.839 --> 00:35:16.459
 lived a

00:35:16.459 --> 00:35:17.139
 righteous life.

00:35:18.279 --> 00:35:19.199
 Not once

00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:19.980
 did he give

00:35:19.980 --> 00:35:20.539
 himself to

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:20.980
 temptation.

00:35:21.259 --> 00:35:22.039
 Not once.

00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:23.000
 He did

00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:23.299
 what none

00:35:23.299 --> 00:35:23.559
 of us

00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:23.859
 could do.

00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:24.699
 And then

00:35:24.699 --> 00:35:25.519
 he died

00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:26.099
 in our

00:35:26.099 --> 00:35:26.919
 place for

00:35:26.919 --> 00:35:27.839
 our unfaithfulness.

00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:29.260
 What a

00:35:29.260 --> 00:35:29.579
 God we

00:35:29.579 --> 00:35:29.800
 got.

00:35:30.420 --> 00:35:30.740
 What a

00:35:30.740 --> 00:35:31.000
 savior.

00:35:31.260 --> 00:35:31.480
 What a

00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:31.720
 king.

00:35:32.680 --> 00:35:32.880
 His

00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.340
 obedience

00:35:33.340 --> 00:35:34.100
 from

00:35:34.100 --> 00:35:35.100
 beginning to

00:35:35.100 --> 00:35:35.900
 end secured

00:35:35.900 --> 00:35:36.539
 our salvation.

00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:38.100
 He

00:35:38.100 --> 00:35:38.380
 submitted

00:35:38.380 --> 00:35:39.220
 himself to

00:35:39.220 --> 00:35:39.480
 the will

00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:39.700
 of the

00:35:39.700 --> 00:35:40.220
 father even

00:35:40.220 --> 00:35:40.519
 to the

00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:40.840
 cross.

00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:43.440
 That's

00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:43.920
 one thing.

00:35:44.260 --> 00:35:44.860
 Rejoice

00:35:44.860 --> 00:35:45.720
 in your

00:35:45.720 --> 00:35:46.180
 savior.

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:49.600
 Second

00:35:49.600 --> 00:35:49.900
 thing.

00:35:53.120 --> 00:35:53.980
 Jesus is

00:35:53.980 --> 00:35:54.620
 able to

00:35:54.620 --> 00:35:55.160
 help you

00:35:55.160 --> 00:35:56.400
 when you're

00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:56.720
 tempted.

00:35:57.840 --> 00:35:58.320
 Because

00:35:58.320 --> 00:35:58.760
 Jesus

00:35:58.760 --> 00:35:59.280
 suffered

00:35:59.280 --> 00:35:59.680
 when he

00:35:59.680 --> 00:35:59.880
 was

00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:00.200
 tempted.

00:36:01.200 --> 00:36:01.400
 Would

00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:01.640
 you turn

00:36:01.640 --> 00:36:01.780
 your

00:36:01.780 --> 00:36:02.059
 Bibles

00:36:02.059 --> 00:36:02.240
 to

00:36:02.240 --> 00:36:02.579
 Hebrews

00:36:02.579 --> 00:36:03.300
 chapter 2

00:36:03.300 --> 00:36:04.760
 verse 18.

00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:07.340
 I just

00:36:07.340 --> 00:36:07.820
 want you

00:36:07.820 --> 00:36:08.720
 to let

00:36:08.720 --> 00:36:09.180
 this sink

00:36:09.180 --> 00:36:09.559
 into your

00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:09.880
 heart a

00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:10.140
 little bit

00:36:10.140 --> 00:36:10.700
 because all

00:36:10.700 --> 00:36:10.920
 of us

00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:11.300
 are facing

00:36:11.300 --> 00:36:11.900
 temptations

00:36:11.900 --> 00:36:12.180
 right?

00:36:13.700 --> 00:36:14.300
 I just

00:36:14.300 --> 00:36:14.500
 want to

00:36:14.500 --> 00:36:14.720
 let you

00:36:14.720 --> 00:36:14.860
 know

00:36:14.860 --> 00:36:15.160
 Jesus

00:36:15.160 --> 00:36:15.519
 gets

00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:15.720
 it.

00:36:16.900 --> 00:36:17.360
 He's

00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:17.559
 been

00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:17.780
 there.

00:36:18.140 --> 00:36:18.460
 He knows

00:36:18.460 --> 00:36:18.740
 what it's

00:36:18.740 --> 00:36:19.039
 like to

00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:19.160
 be

00:36:19.160 --> 00:36:19.600
 tempted.

00:36:20.539 --> 00:36:21.840
 He can

00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:22.360
 sympathize

00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:22.660
 with our

00:36:22.660 --> 00:36:23.019
 weaknesses.

00:36:23.700 --> 00:36:24.019
 But not

00:36:24.019 --> 00:36:24.260
 only can

00:36:24.260 --> 00:36:24.380
 he

00:36:24.380 --> 00:36:25.019
 sympathize,

00:36:25.680 --> 00:36:26.160
 he can

00:36:26.160 --> 00:36:26.620
 help

00:36:26.620 --> 00:36:26.980
 you.

00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:28.620
 He's

00:36:28.620 --> 00:36:29.360
 able to

00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:29.800
 help you.

00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:30.680
 He's

00:36:30.680 --> 00:36:31.280
 willing to

00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:31.800
 help you.

00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:33.700
 Hebrews

00:36:33.700 --> 00:36:33.900
 2

00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:34.260
 18.

00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:34.480
 For

00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:35.180
 because he

00:36:35.180 --> 00:36:35.960
 himself has

00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:36.539
 suffered when

00:36:36.539 --> 00:36:36.860
 tempted,

00:36:37.019 --> 00:36:37.320
 he is

00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:37.820
 able to

00:36:37.820 --> 00:36:38.360
 help those

00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:38.620
 who are

00:36:38.620 --> 00:36:38.880
 being

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:39.160
 tempted.

00:36:39.260 --> 00:36:39.460
 Anybody

00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:40.000
 tempted in

00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:40.260
 the room?

00:36:41.539 --> 00:36:41.920
 Anybody?

00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:42.640
 Anybody?

00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:43.820
 Yes.

00:36:44.220 --> 00:36:44.640
 Yes.

00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:45.559
 We're all

00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:45.960
 tempted.

00:36:46.620 --> 00:36:46.820
 And you

00:36:46.820 --> 00:36:47.140
 know what?

00:36:47.220 --> 00:36:47.620
 Instead of

00:36:47.620 --> 00:36:48.160
 letting that

00:36:48.160 --> 00:36:48.740
 kind of

00:36:48.740 --> 00:36:49.700
 distance you

00:36:49.700 --> 00:36:50.240
 from your

00:36:50.240 --> 00:36:50.559
 Savior,

00:36:52.220 --> 00:36:53.059
 recognize he

00:36:53.059 --> 00:36:53.800
 is ready and

00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:54.280
 able to

00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:54.820
 help you in

00:36:54.820 --> 00:36:55.320
 the temptation

00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:55.920
 because he

00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:56.500
 himself has

00:36:56.500 --> 00:36:57.000
 been tempted

00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:58.019
 yet without

00:36:58.019 --> 00:36:58.420
 sinning.

00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:00.980
 You know

00:37:00.980 --> 00:37:01.180
 what you

00:37:01.180 --> 00:37:01.740
 do when

00:37:01.740 --> 00:37:02.019
 tempted?

00:37:02.220 --> 00:37:02.500
 Here's what

00:37:02.500 --> 00:37:02.820
 I do.

00:37:03.940 --> 00:37:04.300
 Jesus,

00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:05.300
 help me in

00:37:05.300 --> 00:37:05.700
 the middle of

00:37:05.700 --> 00:37:06.220
 the night when

00:37:06.220 --> 00:37:07.000
 my anxiety

00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:07.820
 meter is off

00:37:07.820 --> 00:37:08.340
 the charts,

00:37:08.460 --> 00:37:09.039
 when my fears

00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:09.500
 are going,

00:37:09.600 --> 00:37:09.900
 when I don't

00:37:09.900 --> 00:37:10.200
 know what's

00:37:10.200 --> 00:37:10.400
 going to

00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:10.700
 happen.

00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:11.660
 I'm trying to

00:37:11.660 --> 00:37:12.080
 cling to

00:37:12.080 --> 00:37:12.519
 things and

00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:12.980
 make sense

00:37:12.980 --> 00:37:13.500
 of things and

00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:14.180
 I can't because

00:37:14.180 --> 00:37:14.840
 my brain is

00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:15.400
 not big enough.

00:37:15.680 --> 00:37:16.240
 I start to

00:37:16.240 --> 00:37:16.780
 freak out.

00:37:16.900 --> 00:37:17.059
 You know

00:37:17.059 --> 00:37:17.400
 what I do?

00:37:17.500 --> 00:37:17.780
 Jesus,

00:37:17.940 --> 00:37:18.960
 help me in

00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:19.460
 my bed.

00:37:19.539 --> 00:37:20.120
 My wife has

00:37:20.120 --> 00:37:20.500
 heard it.

00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:22.519
 Jesus,

00:37:22.640 --> 00:37:23.019
 help me.

00:37:23.019 --> 00:37:25.000
 He's able to

00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:25.500
 help us when

00:37:25.500 --> 00:37:25.800
 tempted.

00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:27.079
 He knows

00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:27.400
 what it's

00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:27.639
 like.

00:37:30.099 --> 00:37:30.840
 The last

00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:31.099
 thing,

00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:33.219
 the third

00:37:33.219 --> 00:37:33.460
 thing,

00:37:33.860 --> 00:37:34.820
 when temptations

00:37:34.820 --> 00:37:35.239
 come,

00:37:36.579 --> 00:37:37.900
 Jesus shows

00:37:37.900 --> 00:37:38.800
 us how to

00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:39.860
 resist temptation.

00:37:41.460 --> 00:37:42.380
 We resist

00:37:42.380 --> 00:37:43.259
 temptation by

00:37:43.259 --> 00:37:44.159
 reciting God's

00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:44.440
 word.

00:37:45.579 --> 00:37:46.320
 In order to

00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:47.139
 recite God's

00:37:47.139 --> 00:37:47.659
 word, it's

00:37:47.659 --> 00:37:48.139
 got to be on

00:37:48.139 --> 00:37:48.719
 our hearts.

00:37:51.500 --> 00:37:52.940
 Psalm 119,

00:37:53.019 --> 00:37:54.400
 11, I

00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:54.920
 have stored

00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:55.440
 up your

00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:56.039
 word in

00:37:56.039 --> 00:37:56.619
 my heart

00:37:56.619 --> 00:37:58.019
 that I

00:37:58.019 --> 00:37:58.980
 may not

00:37:58.980 --> 00:38:00.019
 sin against

00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:00.380
 you.

00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:02.400
 We don't

00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:02.759
 read the

00:38:02.759 --> 00:38:03.280
 Bible just

00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:03.780
 to read the

00:38:03.780 --> 00:38:04.159
 Bible.

00:38:04.420 --> 00:38:04.980
 We read the

00:38:04.980 --> 00:38:05.400
 Bible to

00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:05.719
 fight.

00:38:06.820 --> 00:38:07.719
 We read the

00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:08.239
 Bible to

00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:08.759
 resist.

00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:12.880
 Can we be a

00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:14.059
 church that

00:38:14.059 --> 00:38:15.000
 regularly says

00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:15.579
 when tempted,

00:38:16.099 --> 00:38:17.099
 it is written.

00:38:18.259 --> 00:38:19.320
 It is written.

00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:21.679
 When you're

00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:22.059
 tempted to

00:38:22.059 --> 00:38:22.940
 greed, it is

00:38:22.940 --> 00:38:23.320
 written.

00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:24.800
 When you're

00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:25.260
 tempted to

00:38:25.260 --> 00:38:26.240
 sexual immorality,

00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:27.260
 it's written.

00:38:29.099 --> 00:38:29.920
 Sinful anger,

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:30.679
 it's written.

00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:33.159
 Unforgiveness and

00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:33.980
 bitterness, it is

00:38:33.980 --> 00:38:34.440
 written.

00:38:35.820 --> 00:38:36.599
 Condemnation, it

00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:36.980
 is written.

00:38:37.059 --> 00:38:37.480
 There's another

00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:38.119
 thing I've found

00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:38.900
 myself doing in

00:38:38.900 --> 00:38:39.260
 the middle of

00:38:39.260 --> 00:38:39.500
 the night.

00:38:40.460 --> 00:38:41.179
 Lying in my

00:38:41.179 --> 00:38:42.599
 bed, and these

00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:43.500
 thoughts come in

00:38:43.500 --> 00:38:44.920
 of past sins I've

00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:46.039
 committed, and I

00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:46.840
 start to think,

00:38:47.240 --> 00:38:48.300
 what a miserable

00:38:48.300 --> 00:38:50.019
 wretch I am, and I

00:38:50.019 --> 00:38:51.019
 start thinking more

00:38:51.019 --> 00:38:52.119
 about my sin than

00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:53.179
 about the Savior who

00:38:53.179 --> 00:38:54.579
 saved me from it, and

00:38:54.579 --> 00:38:55.340
 you know what comes

00:38:55.340 --> 00:38:56.099
 into my head?

00:38:56.860 --> 00:38:57.519
 It is written.

00:38:58.719 --> 00:38:59.420
 There is therefore

00:38:59.420 --> 00:39:00.659
 now no condemnation

00:39:00.659 --> 00:39:01.559
 for those who are in

00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:02.179
 Christ Jesus.

00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:03.420
 If God is for me, who

00:39:03.420 --> 00:39:04.239
 can be against me?

00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:05.480
 There's nothing that

00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:06.559
 separates me from the

00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:07.480
 love of God, not even

00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:08.480
 my own sin.

00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:18.840
 when you're afraid, it

00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:19.400
 is written.

00:39:20.300 --> 00:39:21.500
 God is with me.

00:39:22.240 --> 00:39:23.460
 When you're anxious, it

00:39:23.460 --> 00:39:23.940
 is written.

00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:25.300
 Don't be anxious for

00:39:25.300 --> 00:39:26.099
 anything, but in all

00:39:26.099 --> 00:39:26.860
 things with prayer and

00:39:26.860 --> 00:39:27.760
 supplication, make your

00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:30.380
 request to God, and He'll

00:39:30.380 --> 00:39:31.019
 give you the peace of

00:39:31.019 --> 00:39:31.880
 God which transcends on

00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:32.679
 all understanding.

00:39:34.059 --> 00:39:35.099
 When you're questioning

00:39:35.099 --> 00:39:36.619
 your worth, it is

00:39:36.619 --> 00:39:37.079
 written.

00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:38.779
 I am the apple of His

00:39:38.779 --> 00:39:39.199
 eye.

00:39:42.019 --> 00:39:42.900
 When you're facing

00:39:42.900 --> 00:39:44.279
 discouragement, it is

00:39:44.279 --> 00:39:44.739
 written.

00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:47.559
 This I call to mind, and

00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:48.779
 therefore I have hope.

00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:50.159
 The steadfast love of the

00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:51.019
 Lord never ceases.

00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:54.759
 When you're tempted to

00:39:54.759 --> 00:39:56.159
 gossip, it is written.

00:39:56.639 --> 00:39:58.440
 I will use my lips to

00:39:58.440 --> 00:39:59.480
 build up.

00:40:01.099 --> 00:40:02.179
 Ephesians 4.29.

00:40:02.940 --> 00:40:03.799
 Where are you tempted?

00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:06.159
 Where are you regularly

00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:06.480
 tempted?

00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:10.619
 Are you saying it is

00:40:10.619 --> 00:40:11.280
 written to it?

00:40:12.300 --> 00:40:13.619
 Are you resisting it?

00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:15.740
 And maybe you're sitting

00:40:15.740 --> 00:40:17.280
 and you're saying, well, I

00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:17.960
 know where I'm being

00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:19.219
 tempted, but I don't know

00:40:19.219 --> 00:40:19.900
 where it is written.

00:40:22.179 --> 00:40:23.159
 Ask for help.

00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:26.159
 Because surely there is

00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:27.960
 another saint in this room

00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:29.440
 who's been tempted by the

00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:31.219
 same thing, and they have

00:40:31.219 --> 00:40:33.039
 an it is written right

00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:34.719
 there in the top pocket of

00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:35.519
 their heart that they can

00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:36.099
 share with you.

00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:39.619
 Let's seek each other's

00:40:39.619 --> 00:40:41.420
 help for finding out what

00:40:41.420 --> 00:40:42.960
 is written so that we can

00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:44.480
 honor our Savior in

00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:45.659
 resisting the temptations

00:40:45.659 --> 00:40:46.139
 of the devil.

00:40:47.659 --> 00:40:49.079
 We can live in his

00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:50.400
 victory that way.

00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:55.300
 Jesus is the true Son of God.

00:40:55.300 --> 00:40:58.340
 He fully entrusted, obeyed the

00:40:58.340 --> 00:40:58.680
 Father.

00:40:59.680 --> 00:41:00.900
 His obedience secured our

00:41:00.900 --> 00:41:03.880
 salvation, and it compels us

00:41:03.880 --> 00:41:07.079
 to be faithful and true

00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:07.660
 ourselves.

00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:08.860
 Let's pray.

00:41:08.860 --> 00:41:14.220
 God in heaven, we are a tempted

00:41:14.220 --> 00:41:14.599
 people.

00:41:16.300 --> 00:41:19.920
 And we have a Savior who trusted

00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:23.160
 and obeyed and never, never

00:41:23.160 --> 00:41:23.920
 wavered.

00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:26.940
 He was tempted in every way, yet

00:41:26.940 --> 00:41:27.840
 without sin.

00:41:28.720 --> 00:41:30.620
 And God, we rejoice in our Savior

00:41:30.620 --> 00:41:34.760
 who won this bout with the devil,

00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:36.680
 and then through his death,

00:41:37.120 --> 00:41:38.200
 through his resurrection,

00:41:38.780 --> 00:41:41.280
 he triumphed over the power

00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:41.960
 of sin.

00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:44.700
 And we are now united with him

00:41:44.700 --> 00:41:45.740
 in his death and resurrection,

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:47.200
 and so we're dead to sin and

00:41:47.200 --> 00:41:48.520
 alive to God in Christ Jesus.

00:41:48.680 --> 00:41:50.280
 And we give you thanks for that,

00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:50.620
 God.

00:41:52.080 --> 00:41:53.780
 Help us to rejoice in our Savior.

00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:56.740
 Help us to fight with it as

00:41:56.740 --> 00:41:58.340
 written in Jesus' name.

00:41:58.340 --> 00:41:59.140
 Amen.
