What is the theme of this chapter?
His temptation and inauguration.
What is the key verse(s) of this chapter? Verses 10 and 17
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.’”
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
What can I apply to my life from this chapter (things to do/avoid)?
Christ's temptation reminds me of the verses in Hebrews which say that because He suffered temptation like I do, yet without sin, He is able to sympathize with me. It is so comforting to know that He knows exactly what I am going through.
For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted (Heb 2:18).
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin (Heb 4:15).
