Temptation by the Devil
Theme: Resistance
Biblical Basis • Matthew 4:1-11
After Jesus was baptized, the Spirit led him out into the wilderness where he fasted, going without food for 40 days and 40 nights. There the devil came to tempt him to prove he was the Son of God. But Jesus resisted the devil’s power.
Additional Text: Hebrews 2:14-3:2a
Lesson Prayer
Gracious Father, as you led Jesus into the desert by the power of your Holy Spirit, may we draw on that same Spirit in your times of temptation. Help us to put aside those things that tempt and distract us from your mission so that we might focus on sharing the good news of Christ. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
