Matthew 4:1-25 - The Leader and His Followers - Part 1

Introduction

Matthew skips some of the earliest events as recorded in John's Gospel: the wedding at Cana, the first cleansing of the temple, the encounter with Nicodemus, the visit to Samaria and reveals to us a most remarkable event – the temptation of the Messiah!

Why is this event so important?

1. It represented a supernatural showdown between Satan and the Son of God
2. It reversed the failure of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Where the first Adam failed, the Second Adam triumphed!
3. It demonstrated Jesus’ holy, sinless and perfect role as the atoning Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world
4. It enabled Jesus to identify with mankind and become a sympathetic High Priest
5. It offers believers a biblical pattern for overcoming temptation
