Weekly Bulletin
https://fbcz.org/bulletinJesus’ victory displays His divine kingship and royal power to resist the only other great ruler and dominion in the universe, Satan.
Matthew desires to demonstrate the pattern found in Jesus’ human victory over sin, a pattern that he longs to share with all who belong to Christ.
Jesus defeated Satan because you couldn't.
Preparation
When Jesus was baptized with all the repenting people, it was as if our commanding General came to the front lines and jumped in the trenches with us.
He prepares for conflict:
• Filled with the Holy Spirit
• Filled with the Holy Spirit
Hypostatic union - Jesus has two natures: He is fully human and fully God.
He prepares for conflict:
• Filled with the Holy Spirit
• 40 Days of solitude
• 40 days of fasting
• Filled with the Holy Spirit
• 40 Days of solitude
• 40 days of fasting
When physical appetites rule in your body spiritual power will decline.
