Good morning. Our study today is the second part of our Sinless Savior. We're going to be turning to Hebrews 4.14 for the first part of our class. We're going to read Hebrews 4.14 through 16. Last week, we looked at some scriptures that prove that Jesus was absolutely sinless, the perfect Son of God, our Savior. We're going to go through some of that today, as well as the truth of our Savior being without sin, and we're going to touch upon that He was not able to sin. Hebrews 4.14 reads, Seeing then that we have a great high priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly under the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. I'm going to go through and break some of this down. In Hebrews 4.14, it says, seeing then that we have a great high priest. Jesus' greatness in the psalm, it says his greatness is unsearchable. That word unsearchable is infinite. Now, a while back, we went through the attributes of God, and infinity was one of the attributes of God, that He is boundless. A. W. Tozer said, what is God like? God is not like anything. He is absolutely, essentially holy, righteous, sinless, He is all things, and He is incomprehensible in a sense, but yet He has revealed Himself to us through His Word, and He has given us the Holy Spirit to teach us, to illuminate our understanding. And I might just add the note here that some of the things that I'm going to speak on today and even last week, we're all not going to comprehend to the same level or degree. And some of us won't actually grab at it all. But these are some of the deep things of Christ. And I believe that they need to be taught in the church. And it's the doctrine of our sinless Savior. So seeing then that we have a great high priest, In the Old Testament, there were two kinds of priests. There was the great high priest, high priest, and there were the priests. Now, the priest just did the general things that priests did in those days, gathering the sacrifices and praying for the people. But the great high priest or the high priest was the one who went into the Holy of Holies once a year to make atonement for the sins of the people. Not only did he have to make atonement for the sins of the people, first he had to make atonement for his own sins, and then the sins of the people. So, but we have a great high priest. Who is the great high priest? In 2nd, you don't have to turn there, 2nd Corinthians 4.4 says he is the image of the invisible God. So Jesus Christ is a high priest, He's also in Hebrews 1.3, it says, who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person. Jesus came also to show us the Father. When Philip was a little bit confused in John 14, he said, show us the father. He told Jesus, show us the father and it will be sufficient for us. And Jesus said, how long have I been with you? And yet you do not know me. He who has seen me has seen the father. So I and the father are one. He also spoke about these things in John chapter 10. I and the Father are one. And what it means by that is Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity. One in essence and nature. Three persons in one God. They're all one in essence and nature. But there's three separate persons. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. And most of us have heard and read the scriptures and know about the different offices that they all contain within their persons. But here we're speaking of the second person of the Trinity, God the Son, who is the great high priest. And we're explaining who he is. And in Hebrews 1.3, again, it says, who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person. John Owen says, the whole end of the gospel is to give us the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. I'll say that again. The whole end of the gospel is to give us the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. So when we see Jesus, we read about Jesus, we contemplate Jesus and meditate upon the things of Jesus. We see the glory of God. We see with the eyes of our understanding the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, the person of Christ. End quote. And the express image of his person. What is that? The express image of his person. In short, all the perfections of the nature of God are also in the person of the eternal Son of God. Again, when we see God the Son, we see God the Father. And let me read that one more time. Some of these things are just, we've never heard them before, and I haven't read them a whole lot before, but I definitely believe them, and I've heard them in different ways in different books and parts of the Bible. So, what is that? In short, all the perfections of the nature of God are also in the person of the eternal Son of God. He is holy, He is righteous, just, All the attributes that we can think of, He is infinite in all His attributes. Without bounds, He is holy. So, in John 17, verse 3, Jesus says, praying to the Father, And this is eternal life, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. And in John 14, 9, Jesus said, of course, to Philip, he who has seen me has seen the father. Now we're going through, I'm getting a trend here. If you can see where I'm going with this, if not, just hang on. We're going to understand what I'm saying here. Hebrews 1, 3, again, at the end of that verse, it says, upholding all things by the word of his power. upholding all things by the word of his power. In a little bit, we may talk about Adam and how he was created. And I'm going to ask you right now, who created Adam? God. And who created all things? In the Gospel of John, it says, In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. Jesus Christ, the last Adam, created the first Adam. And we'll talk more about the Adams in a minute here. So upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins. How does he uphold all things by the word of his power? Well, that's an infinite question with infinite answers. But to try and break this down, Brother Gary, I remember our elder brother Gary once said, I'm going to use the KISS method. And he said, don't get excited. The KISS method is keep it simple, silly. So that's what I'm going to try to do, keep this a little simple. I know that things can get deep and some things we have never heard before and can't quite comprehend because I'm still going through them at a rate of 45 minutes. So upholding all things by the word of his power, Jesus Christ created all things and without him was not anything made that was made. He created the stars in the sky. How do they stay there? We can scientifically say how they stay there, but the whole thing of it is God upholds all things by the word of his power. They stay there because God made them stay there. He created them to be that way. Of course, there is the revolution of all these things and the planets and all these things are also under our God's sovereign control. But they are there because God placed them there. He knows the numbers of the stars and he calls each of them by name. This is our God. And this is the person of Jesus Christ. So he upholds all things by the word of his power. And even us who walk upright in this crooked and perverse generation, and even the wicked who defy his name in our sin against God in so many different ways, God upholds them. He feeds them and clothes them, gives them air to breathe, sustains their hearts. This is our sovereign God. He upholds all things by the word of his power. And much more could be said about that phrase in this verse, but I want to keep on going. When He had by Himself purged our sins, and this is by the substitutionary sacrifice of Himself, He purged our sins. He made atonement for our sins, reconciliation between us and God, whom we sinned. We sinned first of all in Adam, and that's why I'm going to bring Adam into the picture in a minute. Because in Adam, all die, all have died, all have sinned. We have all fallen short of the glory of God, and that is in Adam. Even when we were born into this world as sinners, because the baby comes into the world with a sin nature, as in Isaiah, no, it's Psalm 58, 3, that says, the wicked are estranged from the womb. They go forth speaking lies as soon as they are born. So that's just one of the many verses that touch upon the doctrine of total depravity or inability, inability to do right. John Gill for his sitting, John Gill says on this particular verse, for his sitting here denotes Now, when he had sat down on the right hand of the majesty of Anhai, is at the end of that verse, John Gill says, for his sitting, and John Gill is a Baptist, so I sometimes refer to John Gill and Spurgeon. I like to try to keep in the Baptist mode of what Baptists believe, because historically Baptists believed a lot of the things that we're learning about even now. So, for his sitting here denotes the glorious exaltation of him in human nature. Now, let me just clarify and jump back a few minutes, a few weeks, and even months when I spoke on some other things. We understand, and I think we all know, maybe a few of us who have never heard these things, but God, the second person of the Trinity, came down and the angel told Mary, that holy thing which shall be born unto you, that holy thing, it's called a thing because it's not a person. The personality came from God the Son. The second person of the Trinity came down and he was born of the Virgin Mary. The Trinity was involved there, and perhaps we'll turn there in a little bit. By his sitting here denotes his glorious exaltation of him in human nature. Jesus Christ is one person, the person of Christ. He has a divine nature and a human nature. The human nature, he had to be man in order to die for us. And because He is God, that gives infinite value to that death. Infinite value to that death. So, after He's purged our sins and done the work of redemption upon these things, He has exalted Him in the human nature, because God-man is in heaven making intercession for us according to the saints. The God-man is in heaven as our great high priest. who has been touched with the feeling of our infirmities. He knows our weaknesses. He's been through them. He too was tempted as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, well, we'll get to that verse too. Therefore, we can come boldly before the throne of grace as children of God, as dear children of God, children that have been adopted and accepted in the beloved. We can come boldly before the throne of grace. And that'd be part of the end of my message I'm getting to in my thoughts. So after his sufferings and death and resurrection from the dead and shows that he had done his work and was accepted, propitiation is a satisfaction or an appeasement. His propitiation that he done was a satisfaction for the God the Father. and it appeased His wrath from us. So, it shows that He had done His work and was accepted and was now enjoying rest and ease, honor and glory in which He will continue. And the place of His session, this is John Owen speaking still, and the place of His session as well as of the habitation of God at whose right hand He sits on high in the highest heavens. Now, I won't harp on it too much, but the impeccability of Christ is Jesus Christ not being able to sin. It was impossible for Jesus Christ, the person of Christ, to sin. So let's just keep that thought in the back of our mind, but I'll still ask the question if he was able, because there are those who believe that Jesus Christ could sin on earth. He was a man, he was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin. But he could have sinned, couldn't he? Well, if that's true, we know that Jesus Christ is, the scripture says, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. One of the things that I believe is that if Jesus Christ could have sinned on earth, he could sin in heaven. Because he's the same man, the God-man, as he was on earth, as he is now in heaven. He is exalted. Now we can read in Revelation about his sin. We could ask the question, how could sin get into heaven? Well, there is no unholy thing that gets into heaven. You can read about that in Revelation chapter 22. But we're going to continue on there. So the place of his session, as well as the habitation of God, at whose right hand he sits on high in the highest heavens, end quote. Please turn with me to Ephesians 1.20. Ephesians 1.20. We're establishing our thoughts of the person of Christ here. So he is seated at the right hand of the throne in heaven. Ephesians 1.20 and 21. Speaking, which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead. and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places. Now, God the Father is the one who wrought it in Christ when he raised him from the dead. Now, we also know that Jesus Christ had the power to lay his life down, and he had the power to take it up again. So again, we're talking about the will of Jesus Christ, the person of Christ, having the same will as God the Father. One in essence and nature, in His divinity, right? So, that's why it says here that God the Father was doing the work, but also God the Son was doing the work. I know this gets a little complicated here. Let me finish. So, which He wrought in Christ, God the Father in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places. Far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. Again, I ask you, he is seated at the right hand of God, highly exalted. How could he have sinned on this earth? and maybe sin in heaven. Where is our confidence in our great high priest? Where is our confidence in our Savior that he could have sinned? Now, back to our text in Hebrews 4.14. Hebrews 4.14. Arthur Pink says, it is to be noted that the Holy Spirit here designates The Holy Spirit, speaking through the men of God, as they wrote, they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. That's where we get the scriptures. The Holy Spirit designates Christ the Great High Priest. No other, neither Aaron nor Melchizedek, is so denominated. One of the key words in the book of Hebrews is the word better. He was better than Moses, better than Aaron, better than Joshua, better than Mechizedek, greater than Satan, and stronger than death. Better is the first part of the book of Hebrews, proving that Jesus is better than all of those. Especially because he's speaking to an audience who was the Hebrews. So we got to also understand who is he speaking to? Why is he saying it and what is he saying? So he's speaking to the Hebrews who knew about Aaron and Moses and all the old sacrifices and all the old ways of the Old Testament. So Arthur Pink is still speaking here. He says, its use emphasizes the supreme dignity and excellency and sufficiency of our high priest. Second, he has passed In the Greek, through. He has passed through the heavens, as Paul did. He talked about going into the third heaven. And so, Jesus Christ has passed through the heavens into the highest heaven, into the abode of God, where he now sits at the right hand of God as our great high priest, the God-man at the right hand of the throne of God. So, our Lord Christ, having assumed our nature, passed through the Virgin's womb, And being born in his infancy, childhood and manhood passed through many difficulties, temptations, afflictions, persecutions, yes, death itself and the grave. After his resurrection, he passed through the air and the stellar heavens, entering the heaven of heavens. Thus, we see that nothing could hinder him from that place where he intended to appear as our great high priest. before his father. So we see the plan of God. The plan of redemption is as a silver thread running throughout the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation. There is a plan that God has. Adam did not have a plan. He was created to tend the garden. The first Adam was earthly. The second Adam was not created. He was the Son of God that came and assumed a human nature unto himself, the God-Man. He had a plan, and that plan was, Jesus called it the blood of the everlasting covenant. And again, we get into the covenant theology of God the Father and God the Son. Before the foundations of the world had a plan that God the Father would give the Son of people. And the Son would come and die and do the work of redemption for the people and purchase the people with his own blood. So all these things that are happening in the scripture is a plan of God, a perfect plan of God. Do you think that God the Father and God the Son would have a plan in their plan that Jesus could sin? Why? He's perfect, holy. There's no need for that. But yet, we'll get into the temptations here also. He knows our weaknesses, our frailties. So, thus we see that nothing could hinder him from that place where he intended to appear as our priest before his father. End quote. Hebrews 4.15 Says again that we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, weaknesses. He hungered, he thirst, he was weary, he grew weak, he needed sleep. These are infirmities, but was in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. He was tempted of the devil. And we'll get into some of the many trials and temptations that he went through in this life. All through his life he was tempted. Not just by the devil in the wilderness, but our Lord had a rough life, in a sense of speaking as us as humans. He was homeless, for one thing. So, the meaning of temptation in the Greek noun, parasmos, means trial, proof, or temptation, depending on the context. Now, the verb form is tempted, and tempted is in the Greek the word parazo. It means to test, to try, or to tempt. Again, depending on the context. So, when we read a text of scripture, we've got to take it within context and understand what is in the text. Charles Spurgeon, another Baptist preacher, he said that a text taken out of context is nothing more than a pretext, a false motive, something from whoever's taking it out. They wanted to make it say what they want it to say, not what it was originally meant to say within the text. So in James 1.2, please turn with me to James 1. We're going to read 2, 3, 2 and 3 right there. And we're going to see how the word temptation is in different ways used in different meaning, different meaning and definitions. So in James 1, 2, my brethren counted all joy when he fall into divers temptations. Trials. That word temptations right there means trials. And the next verse says, knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. The same word is found in the other verses. We're going to jump down to James 1.14 and 15. The same word is being used. But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. So not only do we as humans in a fallen, sinful world with a sinful nature, not only are we tempted from without, but we're tempted from within. We're always falling, always falling short of the glory of God. Even as Christians, I sometimes tell people and speaking to them, I say that, well, the Christian isn't sinless, but he does sin less. Right? I'm no longer the man that I used to be. And I'm not what I think I should be. But I thank God that I'm not what I used to be. The phrase is, it just came to mind. So, and forgive me for saying so so much. But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. In verse 15, then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. And sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Now here, the word temptation is a solicitation to do evil. The same word used in two different ways. We see that sometimes the word temptation is a solicitation to do evil, and sometimes it means trials or other things. God testing us in Psalm 37. I think it says that in Psalm 37, God tests the righteous, right? And also in Isaiah, there's a scripture that says, See, I have tested you, God speaking. See, I have tested you, though not as silver, but I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. So our temptations, our trials, all these things come to us by God for a purpose. God has a purpose in all things. All things. God has a purpose. And for those who are the children of God, we refer to Romans 8, comes to mind. And we know that all things work together for good to them who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose. And in the next verse is for those he predestined, he also For those he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed into the image of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. So our trials, our temptations, all these things God is working together. Though we can't see it, we don't understand it, we can't comprehend it, can't sometimes explain it. But God is working and he has a purpose in all things in the lives of his children. And he had a purpose in the life of the second Adam, the second man, Jesus Christ. And everything that Jesus did on earth was for a purpose. So here we go with, let's look at Hebrews 11, 17. We're still looking at various ways that the word temptation can be used in the scriptures. 1117. By faith, Abraham, when he was tried, by faith, Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac. So that word tried right there is the same word perazo in the Greek, which up here, the definition again is to test, to try, to attempt, to solicit to do evil. And here the word, if we go to Genesis, and I'll just read it, Genesis 22 is where the account is of where God did tempt Abraham, the word says. The Bible says in Genesis 22, 1, God did tempt Abraham, meaning tried Abraham. He tried him when he told him to take his son up to the mountain and there sacrifice him. And of course, Angels, the Lord appeared, stopped him, and then he seen a ram caught in the thicket. And that ram was a picture of Christ, the perfect sacrifice. Because Isaac asked the father, well, where's the sacrifice? Walking up to the, you know, place. Where's the sacrifice? The Lord will provide a sacrifice. And so he did. The perfect Lamb of God. Warren Wiersbe says, the reason God tries us and tests us is to prove us. He's proving nothing to Himself, for He knows us from top to bottom, inside and out. He knows our thoughts. He knows all our thoughts from as when we were a baby, all through life, every thought we ever thought, every word we ever did, every deed we ever did, God knows us. from beginning to end, and even so on. He knows us from top to bottom. Instead, he's proving something to us. God considers us as valuable as silver. And he puts us into situations that test and strengthen us. End quote from Warren Wiersbe. Just give me a thought there from something else I heard. When we test gold, can pure gold be tested? Well, we don't really know if it's gold, so they test it to see if it's gold, or to burn off the dross and the impurities. Jesus Christ was pure, sinless man, yet he was tested in the furnace of affliction. He was also tempted. Now, the word tempted, in that sense, doesn't always mean sin. It's only sin when we yield to the temptation. Let's go to James 1.13. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man. So we see here that just as in the garden when Adam and Eve, Adam blamed the serpent and Eve blamed the serpent and Adam blamed, it was the woman thou gavest me. So they're actually blaming God for their sin in a sense. So this verse is sort of correlates with that. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man." And this particular temptation here is a solicitation to do evil. This is temptation. So, John Gill says in this particular verse, he says, I am tempted of God, for God is holy and without iniquity, nor does he delight in sin, but hates and abhors it, nor can he commit it, it being contrary to his nature. and the perfections of it, whereas no one can tempt another to sin unless he is sinful himself, and delights in sin, and in those that commit it, nor who, committing it himself, has yet sinful men are apt to charge God with their sins and temptations to them, in imitation of their first parents, Adam, when fallen, in Genesis chapter 3 verse 12. James 1.14, but every man is tempted when he is drawn away, as we read earlier, by his own lust and enticed by our sin nature. We are tempted from without and tempted from within. Even if you put a blind man into a dark room, he's still going to be tempted in ways that we would be tempted with our eyes because he has that sin nature in his imagination running wild. I always thought, well, the blind guy is even more blessed than those of us who see, but not so. He's just as wicked as we are. James 1.15, Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin, and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. So, Romans 6.23, For the wages of sin is death, in Adam all die, But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. There is a purpose in everything that Jesus Christ did. The second person of the Trinity coming and assuming our human nature unto himself. That holy thing, again, I say is not a person. That holy thing is a nature. A nature is not a person. The person of the person of Christ came down from heaven. and assumed a nature unto himself. So the person is first of all Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity. Let's go move on. We got 1 John 2.15. Please turn with me there. 1 John 2.15. We'll read down to 2.17. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loved the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father, but is of the world." Got a comment here. God is not the author of sin, nor is it agreeable to His will. But He has decreed it. God has decreed all things that come to pass, yet he is not the author of sin, nor does he take part in it. Adam fell because it was the purpose of God for him to fall. He allowed him to fall. Imagine if Adam wouldn't have fell. Well, we'd never know Jesus Christ. Why would he have to come? So there was a purpose in the fall of Adam and Eve. God had it planned before the foundation of the world. And this is part of the everlasting covenant where Jesus runs through the whole of the scripture as a conquering king without sin. So, 217, and the world passeth away and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. Notice that last phrase. How many times did our Lord say that He came not to do His own will, but the will of Him that sent Him? In this covenant of redemption, Jesus Christ, remember, is agreeing to God the Father. He's going to submit His self unto the Father in this act of redemption. And He came not to do His own will, but the will of Him that sent Him. He says that throughout the Scriptures, all the way through the Gospels. So we see. that He came to do the will of Him that sent Him. That is a key. I seriously ask you, do you think that it was God's will that the person of Christ could sin? We will speak more on that in a little bit, if we have time. We're running out of time. I'm going to move along. Turn to the temptation of the devil in Genesis 3.6. I'll read it if you don't get there. When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, The lust of the flesh. This is where we fell in Adam. And the second Adam comes and conquers what the first one lost. Jesus Christ. Now here we go with Genesis 3.6. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, which is the lust of the flesh, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, the lust of the eyes, and the tree to be desired to make one wise, the pride of life. She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. Remember, temptation in itself is not a sin. It is when we yield to it that it is sin. And from that, all in Adam die, but all in Christ live, or shall be made alive. That's in 1 Corinthians 15, 22. For in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Romans 5, 12. Wherefore, as by one man's sin entered into the world, the first Adam, and death by sin, even so death passed upon all men without exception. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. And so it was written, the first Adam was made a living soul. Remember, we talked about Adam, Jesus Christ created the first Adam. He was created for a purpose. Christ, Jesus, the God-man was not created. Then Jesus was led up to the Spirit. I'm going to hit with Matthew 4, 1 through 6. I'm going to read that. I'm running out of time, y'all. I'm sorry. Then Jesus was led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward unhungered. And when a tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command these stones to be made bread. And I would ask, how long was he without food? 40 days and 40 nights, right? So we have there the lust of the flesh. One of our weaknesses. Not necessarily sinful. It wouldn't have been sinful for Jesus, in a sense, if we look at it this way, to turn that stone into bread and eat. He hadn't ate in 40 days, 40 nights. But it would have been sinful for him to obey the devil or to fall into that trap. He came to do not his will, but the will of him that sent him. So he would not deviate from the plan. So I would think that it was impossible for him to sin. He came not to do his own will, but the will of him that sent him. But if he came to do his own will, then maybe he could have sinned. So, when he had fasted 40 days, he was afterward hungered. Okay, let's go down to verse 4. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. The sword of the spirit. Our Lord teaches us to use the sword of the spirit in our temptations. That's why it's important for us to read, reread, meditate, memorize scripture that we can also not only meditate upon the things of God and God himself, but we can defeat the devil and our own flesh. Then the devil taketh him upon the holy city and setteth him upon a pinnacle of the temple. And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God again, if thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down. For it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou shalt dash thy foot against a stone. That is the pride of life. Adam fell in that. The second Adam overcame. He was a conquering king. 4-7, Jesus said unto him, It is written, again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. That word there, tempt the Lord thy God, is a test. Thou shalt not test the Lord thy God or presume upon God. In 4-8, Again, the devil taketh him into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the earth, of the world, and the glory of them. And saith unto him, All these things I will give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. This is the lust of the eyes. So, in 410, then Jesus said unto him, Get thee hence, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve. So, we get through that. We see that the first Adam fell in all these ways. And I would present to you that all and every sin that we ever do is under one of these three headings. The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. That way, Jesus was tempted just there alone, in all points as we are, yet without sin. Amen? Let's pray. Father, we thank you, Lord, for the hearing of your word. We thank you for the Holy Spirit which
