“THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS.”
Read carefully Matthew 4:1-11;
Mark 1:1-13; Luke 4:1-13.
After his baptism Jesus was
led out across the plain to the
desert, mountainous country on
the western side of the Jordan
Valley. This was the uncanny
region, mainly given over to the
wild beasts, in which John the
baptizer had spent most of the
years of his phenomenal life of
preparation.
Jesus evidently longed for ab
solute solitude that he might
rightly contemplate the course
that he must follow, the work
that he must do. In that lonely
waste, the devil who had been
rewarded with signal success in
his efforts to decoy the first
Adam away from his allegiance
to God, now meets the second
Adam and during the 40 days of
residence in the mountain wilds
he endeavors to allure Jesus
from that purpose of a right
conquest of the world.
The three temptations that are
given are evidently specimens
of the three methods or lines of
attack that the devil adopted.
Assuming that the facts brief
ly recorded in two of the Gos
pels are familiar to every reader,
I wish to point to a few special
features of this greatest battle
of the universe, features that
may be of interest and profit.
1. The greatest, the most
eventful battles are not fought
with material weapons. Had
some desert traveler passed that
way at the fiercest period of the
great attack, he would probably
have seen what appeared to be
one man, engaged in earnest
conference with another, and
yet the destiny of countless mil
lions hung upon the issues of
that conference, the decision
made there. Your fate and |
mine were involved. The recent
conflict between Russia and Ja- j
pan, the war between the Fed- j
eral government and the Con
federacy were as child’s play in
comparison.
2. These temptations were
real and not sham battles. He
was really hungry, as hungry as ;
the reader could have been after1
such a fast; he really desired
that the world know and con- j
cede that he was the Son of God
as was affirmed by the voice of
God at his baptism; he really de
sired, longed for this world to
have it entirely in subjection to;
his righteous rule. No tempta- j
tion of any man was ever more
real nor more felt. Hence he ■
knows well every battle of every
heart. ,
3. No greater proof that he j
was the Son of God was furn
ished by any and all of his mir
acles than Jesus furnished by i
his conduct under these tempta-,
tions. The devil had held easy
sway over all men up to this
time. Not one but that at some !
time had yielded to his wiles and
gone down before him. It was
claimed by this one that he was
the Son of God, that was the as
serted claim at his baptism. The
devil assumes to open the way
for Jesus to prove that claim. 1
Jesus did prove the claim, but.
not by methods selected for him
by the devil, but in the only way
possible—by standing unmovedly
in whatever condition God’s
hand had placed him and by ac
cepting no proof whatever from
methods suggested to him by fhe
devil. There are volumes of
practical truth here for us. The
highest and strongest proof that
we can possibly furnish, of our
gentility, of our good blood, of
our honesty, of our truthfulness
of our Christianity, if per chance
any of these be questioned, is
not to appeal to force or to argu
ment, but quietly to remain in;
our place and do right and suffer
if need be. Mr. Brown does not i
prove that he is honest or truth-]
ful or brave by fighting as a wild

beast might, in case someone ex
presses a doubt of Mr. Brown’s
honesty or integrity. There is a
better way.
4. There is no sin in tempta
tion. No temptation comes our
way that has not first tried for
admission into the heart of
Jesus. He did not sin because
he did not yield. There will be
no sin in your case if you do not
yield to the temptation.
5. Under the sovereign hand:
af God temptation has its place
and is good in its issues if met
bravely. “Blessed is the man
that endureth temptation.”
Neither Jesus nor any other can
ae really known until put to the
test. No man’s honesty or
truthfulness, or usefulness can
ae known before the hour of
testing. The true gold is dis*
aovered in the crucible, not else
where.
