Christ calls us to shine bright as the light of the world even as He is the light of the world that shines. We are Jesus’ agents in the world to expose darkness and direct sinners to Christ. Jesus also calls us to be peacemakers. We are to make peace with all men no matter who may be the offended party.

Jesus’ call to all was to repent from sin and follow Him. In this third set of commands of Christ, we study the passages that clarify these commands of our Lord who in His grace directs us to a life of fruitfulness for the honor and the glory of God.

In the scene of Jesus’ wilderness temptations, we learn the will of God for man which Israel failed to live by, but which the Son of God incarnate did live by. The principles of living by the Bible, trusting in the Father’s care, and valuing Him far above all else come into focus in this scene. This set of scriptures we will memorize all stem from Jesus’ response to Satan’s temptations.
