1. Why did Jesus come to be baptized by John? As a seal of consecration to God’s work.
2. What wonderful thing happened at his baptism?
“The heaven was opened, and the Holy Ghost [Spirit] descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven which said. Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.” Luke 3:22.
3. What may be the reason for the “temptation” of Jesus? That “he might be in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” Heb. 4:15.
4. Where did these temptations occur? In the wild country called “the wilderness of Judea.”
5. What is the devil called in Mark? Satan.
6. What is the meaning of the two terms? Satan means “adversary” or “enemy,” and devil means “accuser.”
7. What were the three temptations? (1) To make from the stones of the place bread to satisfy his personal hunger. (2) To throw himself down from a high point on the temple, trusting that God would work a miracle to save him. (3) To offer homage to Satan and receive through him power over the world.
8. What was the real temptation in the last two? They seemed to offer Jesus at once, without toil or suffering, the very things he had come to earth to win.
9. How did Jesus conquer? By the use of the Word of God in direct answer to Satan’s proposals.
10. Can we conquer in the same way? Yes, and we have besides the help of our Lord Jesus.
11. What does living “by every word of God” (Matt. 4:4) signify? Trusting all his promises, and keeping all his commands.
12. What is the meaning of the word “tempt” in Luke 4:12? Presumptuously try or provoke.
13. Was it an empty boast of the devil in Luke 4:6? Not altogether, as he is called “the god of this world” (2 Cor. 4:4), and “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph. 2:2).
