Luke 4:9-13 By the virtue the two natures one divine, one human joined together, mysteriously in this one person, Jesus is proving to be the impeccable man. That is, a man who does not sin, will not sin, because of his divine nature, not able to sin. When tested, as we see here, these three times and tested, I think more than that as well. Also, as we’ll seetested throughout his life and ministry, he did not sin. Instead, when…
Not by Bread Alone
Luke 4:1-4 Starting in Luke 4:1, and we’ll read all the way through verse 13. “And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led up by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil.

But even in the darkest of times, we see throughout Scripture, God has preserved a remnant. God has continued to give a voice…

Luke 2:25-30 So today in Luke’s Gospel in Chapter 2, we’re crossing the midpoint of this great chapter, which wraps up the infancy narratives of Jesus, the Messiah, the Savior of the whole world. As we learned last week,Luke has set some context for us so that we’re going to have a deeper theological understanding of what’s recorded here. Some fascinating verses last week, and as we sawstarting in verse 22, Luke brought us back for the rest of the…
