Into the wilderness-Tratlition has fixed upon a high ridge callea Quarautania, near Jericho. Mark adds a graphic touch to the pieture by saying that be was "with the wild beasts." To be Tempted - (twist begins his work with a personal en- counter with Satan. To tempt is, lit- erally, to stretch out, to try the strength of. Temptation is the testing of a per- son, There are two kinds: 1. Clod tests men to eee wliat they are fit for, with a desire that they stand the strain. See Gen. xdi., L o God often tads our faith. 2. Satan deceptively solicits men to evil. In this sense the word means to entiee, solicit, or provoke to sin. In this sense God does not "tempt" men (James i., 13-17); but he does often change the temptations of Satan and wicked men into trials for our good. "From the account given of our Lord's temptation we conclude: 1. That the purity and spiritual power of the Soir of Man were now tested. by God. 2 Tbat his human passions and ambitions were solicited to sinful indulgence. 3. That it was as mere roan he was thus tested by God and solicited by Satan.' -HurIburt. The three temptations of Christ were typical ones, comprehend- ing all the forras of temptation by which human nature can be assailed. They cover the same ground as "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life." (1 John 11., 10).-Cani Bib. The devil has only three terapta tions to present and they are very old and stale. His progranune is shallow and short. The Devil-"Diabolos," always in the sin.gular and with the definite article. Whenever the plural, "devils," is used, it is the translation of another Greek word, meaning demons. 2. Forty days -Moses, Elijah and the Lord could fast forty days because they were in communion with God and living a heavenly life. -Clarke. Luke says he was tempted during the whole of forty bays. "The struggle was powerful, per- sonal and intensely real. Christ for our sakes met and conquered the tempter's utmost strength," -Farrar. Afterward an hungered, -After the forty days were endea the reaction came with terrible force. IL The first temptation (vs. 3, 4)., 3• The tempter came -How Satan appeared to Christ we do not know, but if he came in bodily form it must have been as an angel of light. If thou be-13eware of temptation if it come with an "If" in its moutF.--Parker. The Son of God -The consciousness of his divine sonsbip may no win measure have been withheld Alone in the wilderness, and weak and worn front fasting. Satan saw his chance. Stones bread-Yott are hungry; now if you are the Son of God use the power you have to supply your necessities, and thus prove your divinity. This was a temptation not merely to satisfy hunger, but to show his power and prove his divinity. Why would it bave been wrong to yield? Had Satan proposed anything but what was good and right? When Christ entered the body (Heb. x. 5) he became subject to human limitations, and it would have been wrong for bim to use les divine tower in sustaining his body in a. way that was not possible to other men Under other circumstances Jesus created bread (John vi. 5-14), but it would have been wrong for him to do so to please the devil and to raake a display of his power. 4. It is written -See Deut. viii. 3. In each ease Jesus answered and defeated Satan by a proper use of the word of God. "A man who bas his scripture bid in bis heart has a. sharp sword to fight the devil with." --Maclaren. Not live by bread alone -Human support de- pends not on bread, but upon "God's un- failing promise and pledge of all neea- ful providential tare." How may this temptation be applied to us? Let Dr. Whedon answer: "In this first tempta- tion Satan tempts our Lord, as he dia Eve,* the bodily appetite. Ife appeals to the animal nature first. By this avenue he approaches and conquers the great majority of malikind. Beneath this temptation of bodily appetites all gluttone, drunkards and debaucheee bave fallen and become the devil's prey." III. 'rho second temptation (vs. 5-11. The order of the temptations is different in Luke, but this is immaterial as there is no statement that insists on any par- tieular. order. 5. Taketh Ilann-As God said to Satan of Job so now we con- ceive, Ile said of His Sou: "Behold He is in thine hand, but save His life." This surrender to Satan was gloater. Ave think, than is ordinatily conceived. So far as the necessities of tbe trial reqtered, yet -with ro power of violence or contamin- ation, our Lord's person was in his hand. How else did. Satan take Min to the temple's summit, or to the mountain- top? Whedon. Into the bray eity-Did Joeue actually make a journey from the wilderness to Jerusalem? There are var- ious answers to this question. Whedon believes that His pereon was tionsportat "with the quickness of thought, so that He is not to lee conceived as on Hi S way at any intermediate point." PeIottbet thinks be was taken "probably as Ezek- iel was borne from the River Camber, in Babylonia: 'Aud the spirit lifted rue up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jer- usalem" (Ezek. viii, 3). However, lie may have gone, to our mind there eemna little reason to doubt tbat JeAUS actu- ally event with Satan to the pinnacle of the temple. Pinnaele-Probably the royal porch built by Herod, overlooking the Chedron. From the anima to the tot - tem it, was a diezy beight of seven Imre deed feet, down which when one looked. according to Joeep)iue, "be would become 'dizzy, Ilia tame being male to reata to so vast a depth." 0.
