Matthew 4:1-11

In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue their schema and rhema markers with the scripture marker and the fruit marker. A true rhema never contradicts the inspired written Word, and they contrast discernment with debate, pointing to Jesus answering the tempter with what is written. They discuss context over isolated verses, and they affirm that God's truth and love do not change. The fruit marker sets the fruits of the Spirit against the fruits of a schema: urgency, suspicion, accusation, control, secrecy, self-protection, and emotional certainty without humility. Citing James and John's request to call down fire, they warn against using spiritual language to justify retaliation or superiority. They close by noting the enemy wants us rehearsing the past, and by describing the double-edged blade of logos and rhema.

Forty days is a long time to survive in the wilderness, alone and without food. Witness how Jesus did it—in spite of Satan’s wicked lies and tests. In Jesus’ victory over the physical, spiritual, and psychological challenges, He proved His qualifications to be our Savior.
