본문의 중심내용

예수님은 요단에서 침례를 받고 광야에서 시험을 받으며 공생애를 시작하십니다. 하나님의 의를 이루기 위해 침례를 받으셨고, 광야의 시험도 말씀을 의지하여 이겨 내셨습니다.

[ 마태복음 3:13 - 4:11 ] (찬송342장)

13이 때에 예수께서 갈릴리로부터 요단 강에 이르러 요한에게 침례를 받으려 하시니 14요한이 말려 이르되 내가 당신에게서 침례를 받아야 할 터인데 당신이 내게로 오시나이까 15예수께서 대답하여 이르시되 이제 허락하라 우리가 이와 같이 하여 모든 의를 이루는 것이 합당하니라 하시니 이에 요한이 허락하는지라 16예수께서 침례를 받으시고 곧 물에서 올라오실새 하늘이 열리고 하나님의 성령이 비둘기 같이 내려 자기 위에 임하심을 보시더니 17하늘로부터 소리가 있어 말씀하시되 이는 내 사랑하는 아들이요 내 기뻐하는 자라 하시니라

 4:1그 때에 예수께서 성령에게 이끌리어 마귀에게 시험을 받으러 광야로 가사 2사십 일을 밤낮으로 금식하신 후에 주리신지라 3시험하는 자가 예수께 나아와서 이르되 네가 만일 하나님의 아들이어든 명하여 이 돌들로 떡덩이가 되게 하라 4예수께서 대답하여 이르시되 기록되었으되 사람이 떡으로만 살 것이 아니요 하나님의 입으로부터 나오는 모든 말씀으로 살 것이라 하였느니라 하시니

 5이에 마귀가 예수를 거룩한 성으로 데려다가 성전 꼭대기에 세우고 6이르되 네가 만일 하나님의 아들이어든 뛰어내리라 기록되었으되 그가 너를 위하여 그의 사자들을 명하시리니 그들이 손으로 너를 받들어 발이 돌에 부딪치지 않게 하리로다 하였느니라 7예수께서 이르시되 또 기록되었으되 주 너의 하나님을 시험하지 말라 하였느니라 하시니

 8마귀가 또 그를 데리고 지극히 높은 산으로 가서 천하 만국과 그 영광을 보여 9이르되 만일 내게 엎드려 경배하면 이 모든 것을 네게 주리라 10이에 예수께서 말씀하시되 사탄아 물러가라 기록되었으되 주 너의 하나님께 경배하고 다만 그를 섬기라 하였느니라 11이에 마귀는 예수를 떠나고 천사들이 나아와서 수종드니라

[ Matthew 3:13 - 4:11 ]

13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented.16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him;17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.”4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.”10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’”11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.

Who is God like?

Thinking & Understanding

Jesus received the baptism that was meant for sinners. Jesus took the place of sinners to fulfil God’s righteous work of saving sinners. The voice that came from heaven symbolised God’s confirmation and guarantee (3:13-17). Jesus overcame the temptations of Satan with the Word. Although Israel had been defeated, Jesus was victorious and God supported Jesus (4:1-11). 

Who is Jesus?

3:15- 16 God reopened the way to heaven for sinners who had lost their right to heaven. He shattered the jar of sin that had entrapped us and made us know the God who dwelled in heaven. Even today, Jesus turns our eyes, which are focused only on worldly possessions and values, up towards heaven. He makes us see heaven through the Word. 

What lesson is God teaching me?

4:3-11 We must overcome the sweetness of temptations. Even today, Satan tempts us to fill our stomachs rather than longing for the Word, to try to use God’s ability rather than obeying God, and to pursue glory and wealth rather than serving God. Are you using your strength to obtain all that Jesus has demolished? 

Prayer

Lord, help me to overcome the temptations that come my way today by looking to you, who are victorious.
