Message: The gospel according to Luke Text: Luke 22:31-34
The devil doesn’t get it:
Satan has asked for you by name (Job, Sceva’s sons)
Martin Luther, “Whenever I enter my study, close the door, and open my Bible, the devil meets me there.”
“You can tell the character of a man by looking at his enemies.”
We don’t get it:
No one knows themselves like they think they do.
Matthew Henry, "The stronger the temptation to sin is, the stronger the resolution must be against it."
Beware of “self righteousness” which is technically an oxymoron.
We need to do what we can, only problem with that is John 15:5.
Jesus gets it:
Satan asked and Jesus said yes.
We grow thru our tests. Our failures make us more than our successes.
