My dog Moses will be there. It's going to be amazing. Guys, come January 19th, Los Angeles, Brea Improv at 6 p.m. Go to jesusinthestreet.org slash tickets to get your tickets. But speaking of jesusinthestreet.org, if you just go to jesusinthestreet.org slash Luke, you can actually get the monthly devotional that you can print out and track your progress here. Let's get into Luke chapter four. I'm super excited because now we're getting into Jesus. Jesus is mobile and active right now, and he's actually about to go into the desert for temptation. Here we go. And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the spirit in the wilderness for 40 days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry.
Okay, let's set the scene here. Jesus and his humanity, like any of us, if they starve themselves for 40 days, would be hungry. Jesus is hungry. What the perfect way for the devil to come in and tempt Jesus out of disobedience. I also want to highlight something else. It says that Jesus was both full of the Holy Spirit and he was led by the Holy Spirit into a 40-day fast in the desert. And I think that's really powerful because when we do things led by the Spirit, we actually see the fruit of it in our lives when we're listening to the Spirit and what He has in store for us. Verse 3, The devil said to him, If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread. so satan is first tempting him with a man-made need you're hungry you're god you can turn that stone into bread and feed your hunger you should do that and jesus responds with it is written man shall not live by bread alone jesus is a total gangster when he replies to the first temptation of the devil with man does not live by bread alone. Why?

How does Jesus respond to the first temptation?

Jesus is in the desert fasting for 40 days and he is literally commanding us today as Christians to do the very thing he's doing. He's quoting scripture to defend the temptations of the devil and he is encouraging us in his words, man, Don't live by bread alone, but use the Word of God to defeat temptation. He's telling us to do the very thing He's doing. So He's not bossing us how to live our lives. He's actually the example showing us how to live our lives. So He rebukes the devil with the Word of God. Because we know in Ephesians 6, what is the Word of God? It's the sword of our spirit. It's the weapon, and my roommate and I were just talking about it. It's a both offensive weapon and a defensive weapon.
Like when we're getting attacked by the enemy, we submit to God and we use the word of God and the truth to actually set us free from the temptations of the devil. So that one didn't work. Verse five, and the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment and said to him, to you, I will give all this authority and their glory for it has been delivered to me.
