I Creamed nl I CommentsJH on s.s.i oi I Lesson Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, The Temptation of Jesus, Luke 4:1-13, for Sunday, January 30. The temptation of Jesus is not to be considered as a challenge of the devil but as a challenge of Christ to the devil; Jesus before he began his ministry would prove that he was more than a match for his adversary with the implied conclusion that his followers would be assured of a constant victory. V.l. "And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness." Jesus had just been baptized; he that was to baptize others'with fire and the Holy Ghost was himself so baptized; in this new power Jesus would submit to a trail. V. 2. “Being tempted forty days of the devil. And in those days he ] did eat nothing; and when they I were ended, he afterward hungered." The devil is a person endued I with power; the fight with him 'is real. "Sure I must fight if 1 i should win.” It was a long, hard ’ fight and called for fas'ing and prayer. Finally the point of exhaustion was reached. V. 3. “And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God. command this stone that it be made bread." Here is the temptation of doubt as seen in the word "if." The first step away from God is to discredit him. The temptation had in it a physical appeal. The material still appeals to men and it is at this point that God is ignored. V. 4. "And Jesus answered him saying. It is written that man shall not live by bread alone, hut by! every word of God." Jesus met the devil with the scriptures, the best way today to meet him. It is not material things needed first but the spiritual things as taught by the Word. V. 5. "And the devil taking him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the world In a moment of time.” The devil now recognized the power of God in Christ attempted to show him a short cut to the exercise of this power on earth, Short-cut methods of getting results are usually failures. V. 6. "And the devil said unto him. All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them; and to whomsoever I will give It." The; Following good impulses is like going uphill while following evil ones is like going downhill. Growing a good character will always be hard work because one has to resist temptation, forego any thrill for the moment, and deny himself the approval of his companions. It is much easier to do the wrong because the thrill and the satisfaction come first; the ruin and unhappiness come afterward. Rut even though it Is harder to do right at first, when one has reached the summit of the climb upward, the way is easy and the satisfaction rewarding.

thirst for power belongs to the devil and those who will not surrender to Christ as Lord and Master. There is no question as to Satan's control of the nations; otherwise there would be no world wars. It appears that this satanic power is now let loose as attempts h for world comlnation are seen. Assumed power is given to puppet nations in the plan of world dotni nation. t V.7. "If thou therefore wilt worf ship me, all shall be thine." Here f is the secret to power, namely, e that of worship. It was the woi» e ship of Hitler that gave him mas terial power. On the other hand, ] it is the worship of God that gives I one spiritual power. The call so imperative is that of having all j people worship the only true God ’ in spirit and in truth, in the prom- , ise “all will be thine" there is ! hidden slavery. No one is really , free who surrenders to the evil t one. V.B. “And Jesus answered and ( said unto him, Get thee behind me Satan; for it is written, thou shalt ! worship the Lord thy God, and , him only thou shalt worship.” . Jesus repels the tempter with passion, feeling how powerful was the temptation and how critical. ’ If you want to t talk to the devil, make it short just as Christ did. You don't even need to be polite to him. V. 9. “And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple and said unto him, If thou he the Son of God, , cast thyself down from thence." The tempter points out a place where God manifests himself especially, near the temple in Jerusalem. a good place to tempt God. Note that the devil works close to or even in the church. Vs. 10,11. “For it is written. He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee; and in their hands they shall bear thee up. lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone." The devil is good at quoting scriptures. See Psalm 91: 11.12. V. 12. "And Jesus answering said unto him. It is said thou shalt not tempt the Lord tny God.” Jesus | answers again using the Word of God. The fallacy of deducing conclusions from one text Is manifest! when the Interpretation is not made to correlate with the sum total of the scriptures. Jesus would not exploit the preservation of God in his own interests. Jesus would live a life fully surrendered to the will of God.\ God was not to come to his terms, rather he would carry out his declaration. "I do always those things that please ' him.” raphy of a Mind, and consists of lectures and addresses of Edward I. Bosworth. It discusses such subjects as: The Christian Idea of Suffering and Human Progress. The Relation of Jesus' Death to Human Progress; Studies in The Story of Paul's Life. Faith, Conduct and Des iny; Addresses on The Fine Art of Getting on with Men, The Gospel of Forgiveness, The Meaning of Life. Clericus Says: (Terlm says: “There is no sitnation in which we shall ever find ourselves out of which God cannot rescue us,, but wretched Is ! that day for ns when, presuming ■ on God's mercy, we plunge ourselves Into a si nation where he does not want us.

(Every one to succeed in living right needs strength, courage, and, wisdom. It is the testimony of thousands that these essential qualities were attained by faithful attendance at the church service. The question hinges on one's predominant desire to live right. We see in others so many moral failures, and others see in us moral failures. It is the striving to do right that makes one's life right,

They include 2 world congresses on evangelism in 1949, one in Switzerland and one in Tokyo, Japan. In addition, ! it is hoped to establish 1,000 new Youth for Christ rallies by the summer of 1949. The “Lutheran Hour" will broadcast the gospel in the Russian language throughout the USSR by regular weekly sermons, despite the efforts made by the Communists to counteract the broadcast. The same-work done in Poland has brought to Dr. Walter A. Maier letters of unprecedented gra itude. One of the most unusual congregations in the country is that at Pasadena Community Church, where J. Wallace Hamilton, Cana-dian-born Methodist minister, preaches to thousands on Sunday mornings. After the main auditorium, seating 906, and the new annex are filled, the overflow is taken care of by outdoor seating on benches and in parked cars, which are served by an elaborate loudspeaker system. Despite the unusual aspects of this situation, there is no attempt to capitalize on it as sensational; the service is characterized by dignity. Do Yon Know All answers begin with “J”. 1.
