P2 The Rise of Christ | Running the Other Way | How to Flee Temptation

The Rise of Jesus Christ, Part 2 – January 30, 2022
Intro: Plan going down
Jesus’ ministry began with a message of repentance
Luke 4:1-2 (NIV2011)
1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 where for forty days he was tempted by the devil.
Jesus’ ministry began with a message of repentance
Jesus demonstrated how to triumph over temptation
Everyone is tempted
Luke 4:2-4 (NIV2011)
He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
3  The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
4  Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
Luke 4:2-4 (NIV2011)
He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
3  The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
4  Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
Be aware of your vulnerabilities
James 1:14 (NIV2011)
14 …each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.
Example: Trout Fishing
Be aware of your vulnerabilities
Satan knows which bait you bite
Luke 4:5-12 (NIV2011) 

5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 
6 And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. 
7 If you worship me, it will all be yours.” 
8 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’” 
9 The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. 
10 For it is written: “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; 
11 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” 
12 Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
Look beyond temptation’s deceptive promises
Look beyond temptation’s deceptive promises
Temptation always presents pleasure, but never consequences
James 1:14-15 (NIV2011) 

14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 
15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Example: Man in adultery
Invitation: Stark difference between what evil wants for you and what Jesus wants for you:
John 10:9-10 (NIV2011) 

9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
