But Jesus answered In this passage, Jesus is responding to the devil's temptation in the wilderness. This encounter occurs after Jesus has fasted for forty days and nights, a period of testing and preparation for His public ministry. The phrase "Jesus answered" indicates His authoritative response, rooted in Scripture, to the devil's challenge. This moment highlights Jesus' role as the obedient Son of God, contrasting with Adam's failure in the Garden of Eden. It is written ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’ Persons / Places / Events 1. JesusThe central figure in this passage, Jesus is responding to the devil's temptation in the wilderness. He is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human, who came to fulfill God's redemptive plan. 2. The Devil The tempter in this account, the devil is attempting to lead Jesus astray by offering Him power and glory in exchange for worship. 3. The Wilderness The setting of this event, the wilderness is a place of testing and preparation. It symbolizes a place of solitude where Jesus fasted for forty days and was tempted by the devil. 4. Scripture Jesus quotes from the Old Testament, specifically Deuteronomy 6:13, to counter the devil's temptation, emphasizing the authority and power of God's Word. 5. Worship and Service Central themes in this passage, highlighting the exclusive devotion and allegiance that is due to God alone. Teaching Points The Authority of ScriptureJesus models the use of Scripture as the ultimate authority in resisting temptation. Believers are encouraged to know and apply God's Word in their daily lives. Exclusive Worship Worship and service are due to God alone. This passage challenges believers to examine their lives for any idols or distractions that may compete with their devotion to God. Spiritual Warfare The devil's temptations are real and persistent. Christians must be vigilant and equipped with Scripture to stand firm against spiritual attacks. The Example of Jesus Jesus' response to temptation serves as a perfect example for believers. His reliance on Scripture and commitment to God's will should inspire and guide our own responses to challenges. The Importance of Preparation Jesus' time in the wilderness was a period of preparation. Believers should seek times of solitude and reflection to strengthen their relationship with God and prepare for spiritual battles.Verse 8. - Get thee behind me, Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Jesus repelled the offer with stern indignation. He would receive the splendid inheritance which he felt was his at no other hands than his Father's; he would win all and more than the tempter offered him, but it would be by a slow and painful process - by self-denial, self-sacrifice, self-surrender; the glorious consummation would only be attained at the end of a long vista of centuries. The words, "Get thee behind me, Satan," do not occur in the older manuscripts containing St. Luke's Gospel. These are evidently a later addition from the parallel passage in St. Matthew.
