Temptation of Jesus (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the temptation of Jesus in Matthew chapter 4. He notes that while the devil is often thought of as appearing in physical form to tempt people, temptation can also come in the form of subtle suggestions or thoughts. Gregg also explores the symbolism of the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness and how it relates to the history of Israel. He emphasizes that while Jesus was fully human and capable of sinning, he did not sin and his victory over temptation is a model for Christians today.
