Sermon: The Nerve of Him | Luke 4:1-13

The Nerve of Him | Luke 4:1-13

The temptation of Jesus in the wilderness reveals the incredible arrogance of the devil. He dares to tempt God Himself—thinking, somehow, that he can claim victory over the very Word made flesh. His audacity is both appalling and foolish.

But in this confrontation, we also witness the unwavering resolve of Jesus. Even after fasting for forty days, He stands firm, wielding the Word of God against the tempter. Unlike Adam and Eve, who fell into sin in the garden, Jesus remains steadfast. He does not waver. He does not stumble. Instead, He conquers the enemy with the truth of Scripture.

As the hymnwriter proclaims:
"You strove with Satan, and You won; Your faithfulness endured." (LSB #418 v. 2)

Join us as we reflect on Christ’s victory over temptation and what it means for us today.
