In Part 3, we see how Jesus is the perfect example for us. From his baptism, we see what happens to us when we are saved. We are washed clean of our sins; the Holy Spirit comes down and dwells within us and the Father is pleased. These events happened to me at the point of my salvation as a young boy and they happened to you as well if you have received Jesus by faith. And when he is tempted, we see that he is not alone, and we aren't either. The Father is with Him, the Spirit leads Him when the devil tempts Him.
In Part 2, we study the temptations Jesus experienced in the wilderness, as well as the main areas and the process of temptation. And although temptations follow us everywhere because we live in a body of flesh, we have the amazing example Jesus gave us to win and be victorious against temptations.
In Luke 4, Jesus follows the guidance of the Holy Spirit to go into the wilderness to fast and pray. Instead of 40 days of ‘quiet time’ with God, Jesus deals with two fierce forces that he will battle for the balance of his time on earth, which are the same two forces that we deal with as well.
“And a voice came from heaven: 'You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.'" Today as we study the story of Jesus’ baptism, we’ll also rediscover ALL that God has given to us. Join me in the Word and know that we are God's beloved children, with whom he is well pleased!

In Luke Chapter 3, it says "the word of God came to John." What does it mean that the word of God came to him? And how can we understand the word of God today?

Jesus grew in favor with God and with man. Today, we're discussing the concept of gaining favor with God and man, so, like Christ, we can increase in wisdom and stature, in favor with God and man.

Luke tells us that as he grew, Jesus was also increasing in wisdom. How is it that God the Son, Jesus increased in wisdom? As we study Jesus’ increasing wisdom, we should also consider if we are increasing in wisdom as followers of Jesus.

Chapter 2 of Luke tells us that Jesus continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. At age 12, he stayed in Jerusalem, and his parents found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. So, what is the significance of his time in the temple?
