Victory in Jesus. Luke 4:1-13 The Temptation of Jesus: Victory Over Temptation.victory over temptation is essential before we can live and minister for God. No temptation has ever confronted man that Jesus Christ has not confronted. This is seen in this passage. In His confrontation, Jesus reveals what lies behind each temptation and how to conquer it. Once it has been conquered, we can then live a victorious life and serve God effectively.Jesus was being prepared to serve God. He was about to launch the most important work ever performed by man. His work was to determine the eternal fate of the world and of every man in the world. Jesus had to be strengthened and prepared perfectly, without flaw. Two things were involved in His preparation.First, there was God’s plan. Jesus had to be totally committed to carry out God’s plan no matter what happened. God’s plan was the cross, the way of sacrifice and suffering in order to help others. Jesus would always be tempted to choose the easier course of self, power, and glory. He needed to gain the victory once-for-all. Not that He would not be tempted again; He would. But He needed a strong moment of victory to show that He could conquer the temptation.
