In Luke chapter 4, we read of the Lord Jesus facing temptation in the wilderness. After forty days, He was hungry and attacked by Satan himself. Yet unlike us, Christ triumphed—refusing to abuse His power, refusing to tempt God, and refusing to bow to the wicked one.

In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett considers Luke’s record of the temptation, showing us both the absolute righteousness of our Savior and the subtle strategies of the enemy. Be encouraged: Jesus overcame where we would have failed. His victory is not only our example in resisting temptation, but also the very foundation of our salvation!
