  1. Recap so far… 12/23 – Christmas = God of Light Come to Defeat the Darkness - Therefore - 12/30 – We Need to Break our Alliance to the Darkness and Become Allies with Jesus

  2. Luke 3:18-20 18 So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people. 19 But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done, 20 added this to them all, that he locked up John in prison.

  3. Luke 3:18-20 We Don’t Like it When the Light Shines on Our Darkness

  4. Luke 3:21-22 21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

  5. Luke 3:21-22 Jesus is the Only Son of God. He is divine.

  6. Luke 3:23-38 23 Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, 24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of… 38…the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

  7. Luke 3:23-38 Jesus is like us in that he is human.

  8. Luke 4:1-15 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. 3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’”

  9. Luke 4:1-15 Jesus is unlike us in that he does not follow the commands of the darkness.

  10. Luke 4:1-15 5 And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. 7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.”8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’”

  11. Luke 4:1-15 Jesus is unlike us in that he has never served the darkness.

  12. Luke 4:1-15 9 And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, 10 for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,’ 11and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’” 12And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

  13. Luke 4:1-15 Jesus is unlike us in that he does not test God by choosing the darkness.

  14. Luke 4:1-15 13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time. 14And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

  15. Luke 4:1-15 Jesus is unlike us because he has absolutely no alliance with the darkness, but has the capability to defeat it.

  16. Luke 4:16-30 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. 17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written

  17. Luke 4:16-30 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,    because he has anointed me    to proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives    and recovering of sight to the blind,    to set at liberty those who are oppressed,19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.” 20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 

  18. God’s Plan Revealed 21 And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” Jesus Isaiah “I am here” David Abraham 1800 BC 1000 BC 700 BC 0 BC Time

  19. Luke 4:16-30 22 And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, “Is not this Joseph's son?” 23 And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself.’ What we have heard you did at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.” 24 And he said, “Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. 

  20. Luke 4:16-30 25But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, 26 and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 

  21. Luke 4:16-30 27 And there were many lepersin Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.”28 When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29 And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. 30 But passing through their midst, he went away.

  22. Luke 4:16-30 How will we respond when the God’s light shines on the dark places of our hearts?
