Luke 4:1 - 4:30

Gospel of Luke
Gospel of LukeSteve Gregg

Steve Gregg discusses Luke chapter 4 and the temptation of Jesus. He mentions how the Gospel writers may not always record events in chronological order but emphasize their significance. Gregg points out that the temptations of the flesh, such as the desire for food, drink, and sex, can become temptations towards wrongdoing. He also highlights how the devil quoted scripture to Jesus during the temptation to jump off the temple, but Jesus refused to test God's protection in such a way.
