In Matthew's hands, the devil is supposed to be a clever stand-in for Caesar and his empire, who argues that all the kingdoms of the world are his to dispose of as he sees fit. So, the question posed by this story to the congregation at Antioch struggling with where to put its trust, given the annoying fact of all of Caesar's persistent and humiliating reminders of who's in charge, is: Where does the church place its trust? Does the church trust the old regimes and their systems of domination to solve people's problems, or does it trust the means of producing equity and abundance available in God's new realm where power remains in God's hands and never in the hands of the giant babies who holler like scalded cats to let everyone know they get to be boss?

Matthew 4:1-11 At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was hungry. The tempter approached and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread." He said in reply, "It is written: One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God." Then the devil took him to the holy city, and made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written: He will command his angels concerning you and with their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone." Jesus answered him, "Again it is written, You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test." Then the devil took him up to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence, and he said to him, "All these I shall give to you, if you will prostrate yourself and worship me." At this, Jesus said to him, "Get away, Satan! It is written: The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve." Then the devil left him and, behold, angels came and ministered to him.

When the devil attacks, he'll try anything - anything that will lure you away from Christ and the truth of Scripture. He is a predator, a manipulator, and a liar. The sad truth is: he often wins. If you can define someone by what they do or what they have done, you may surmise that the devil is a winner. But he is not. Jesus is the winner. Jesus is the champion. He defeated the devil by never falling into temptation. He defeated the devil by offering himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. His victory is our victory. So, you are not defined by what you do or what you have done, you are defined by what Jesus has done for you!

Why did the Holy Spirit lead Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted? Intro/Outro music: "Depth of Field" by David Hikowitz

Tempted in the desert, Jesus refutes the Devil's offers with quips from scripture. This story has often been used to tell Christians to defeat temptations similarly. Is that a helpful paradigm? What does it look like to read this story through a wider ecological lens? Jonathan and Seth discuss how a more expansive view of this story sees Jesus' rooted in the Kingdom of heaven and the broader mission of God in the world. How can this reading help us to defeat contemporary temptations?

Have you ever tried to take control of something thinking it would be better if you were in charge? In a moment of desperate weakness Jesus was tempted to take charge over all the kingdoms of the world. But he rejected it. The gospel of Mathew makes it clear that that type of lust for power is akin to worshiping evil/the devil and courting disaster. Yet as human beings we are made to wield power and to have ambitions. Jesus rejects one kind of power that leads to pain and misery for the many and corrupting greed for the few. He embraces a different power residing in a kingdom of physical, spiritual and justice oriented abundance for all- The kingdom of heaven. It's available for us as well!

What's the difference between the Garden of Eden and the desert? How is Jesus the New Adam? How should we try and be like him? What should fathers and husbands do? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dan-greg/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dan-greg/support

For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.'” Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
