Fully God, fully human
Phil 2 - emptied himself
All that a human would experience during a 40 day fast
not to squeeze into pant but prepare
Test
exam, rockets
Temptation
not a sin
Human questions
magic food to break fast
This one is tough for me..why not?
Fast wasn’t over? Not willing to give the tempter an inch?
test God
Does God have me?
Take the kingdoms
Jesus’s very mission
Easy way…. Hard way
Angels attend to him
Rare…points to how hard this was
4 things Jesus did that surprised me
1). Spiritual Disciplines
Jesus utilized them
Training over trying
Paul…training
All of life vs dualism
Step back/ step forward
Season, where you need to grow, start small
Lent…40 days
2). Scripture
Jesus the Living Word, used Scripture
Shows how he thought about it
Put in the the work
We are inundated
We also have the Word so close
Let’s cling to it
3). Temptation
Jesus didn’t mess around
Could have
Let’s not flirt with it
4). Jesus did it for us
He was pure
So I am
We are in this battle until the end
Take courage
