Lesson for January 14 I the baptism and temptation OF JESUS CHRIST LESSON TEXT ? Matthew 3*13-4:11. I GOLDEN TEXT ? Where/ore in all things It behooved him to be mado like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest In things pertaining to God. to make %*uc onclllatlon for the sins of the people I Hebrews 2:17. J PRIMARY TOPIC ? When Jesus Waa Baptited. Jl'NIOR TOPIC ? Jesus Meets the Test. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP I IC ? Jesus Face 8 His Life Work. | young people AND adult TOP IC ? God's Victorious Son. The baptism and temptation of Jesus should not be thought of as pnrt of his preparation t'or bis great woi k, as Is represenetd by many writ ers. 1 hey should rather be viewed as the formal entrance of the Messiah, the king upon his mission. In the baptism we have the act of dedication of himself to his work which made full a righteousness, and In the temptation J we hnve a record of Ids first official , Conflict with the devil whose works he came to destroy, I I. The Baptism of Jesus, the Klna (3:13-17). I 1. Ills coming to John (v. 13). I While the forerunner was discharging his office, the king emerged from his seclusion at Nazareth and demanded baptism at John's hands. 2. John's hesitancy (v. 14). The Incongruity of this demand with the purpose of baptism brought from John a protest, but upon Jesus' satisfactory j explanation John baptized him. ! 8. The significance of his baptism ; (?. 15). Its significance is found In harmony with the central purpose of i his coming Into the world, which was to secure for his people salvation through death and resurrection. This act was the official entrance upon his work. It was an net of consecration on his part to the woi k of saving his people through sacrifice. Christ was , baptized not because he hajl sinned, J but because he took the place of sin I ners to be a substitute for them. ! 4. Approval from the opened i hea\ ens (vv. 1(5, 17). Immediately fol i lowing his consecration to his work | the heavens were -opened and the I Spirit came and abode upon him, fol ! lowed by words of approval from the Father. i II. The Temptation of Jesus the King (4:1-11). i liils temptation was the opening i battle of the dreadful conflict between Christ and Satan. In this struggle note: 1. The combatants (v. 1). a. Jesus Christ? lie went Immedi ately from the place of anointing and heavenly recognition as the Son of Cod, to meet the arch enemy of the race. ^ b. The devil ? The one with whom Christ struggled here was a real, per sonal being, filled with cunning and malice, and possessing great power. 2. The battleground (v. 1). [t was the wilderness of .Judea. The first man was tempted In a garden with the most pleasant surroundings, and failed. The last man was tempted In a bare wilderness, and gloriously triumphed. 3. The method of attack (vv. 3-0). Since, as the Redeemer, Christ sus tains to mankind a three-fold relation ship? Son of man. Son of Cod. nnd Messiah each relationship was made a ground of attack. a. As the Son of Man (vv. 3, 4). The appeal was made to the Instinct of hunger. Having been forty days and nights without food as a normal man, Jesus had a craving appetite. While the appetite was not sinful, to ha\e satisfied it in a wrong way would have been sin. b. As the Son of Cod (vv. .V7).? ft was to test whether this personality which had taken upon itself humanity was divine. The devil rented from a messianic Psalm to Induce .lesus to presume upon Cod's care. Cod really does eare for his own. hut to neglect common precaution, to do the uncalled for thing Just to put Cod's promise to a test. Is to sin and to fall. c. As the Messiah (vv. H. J)). Christ's mission as the Messiah was to recover this world from the dMl. The devil offered to surrender to him on tho simple con on that .lesus how to the devil, thus obviating the r.^-es fdt.v of the cross with Its shame and suffering. 4. The defense (vv. 4. 7. 10) The Instrument of defense was the word of God. Christ met tho enemy each time and repulsed him with "It In written." Kach time he quoted from Deuteronomy, tho hook which higher critics would discredit. ?'?. The Is'u.e (v. II) The enemy was completely routed. The strong man was bound, making the spoiling of his house possible. Pearl of Print Happiness Is that of price which all adventure for, though few And It.
