Matthew 4; Luke 4–5
“𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚂𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚒𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙻𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝙸𝚜 𝚞𝚙𝚘𝚗 𝙼𝚎”

From His youth, Jesus seemed to be aware that He had a unique, sacred mission.

But as Jesus prepared to begin His earthly ministry, the adversary sought to plant doubt in the Savior’s mind.

“If thou be the Son of God,” Satan said (Luke 4:3, italics added). But the Savior had communed with His Father in Heaven.

He knew the scriptures, and He knew who He was.

To Him, Satan’s offer—“All this power will I give thee” (Luke 4:6)—was a hollow one, for the Savior’s lifelong preparation allowed Him to receive “the power of the Spirit” (Luke 4:14).

So despite temptation, trials, and rejection, Jesus Christ never wavered from His appointed work: “I must preach the kingdom of God … for therefore am I sent” (Luke 4:43).
