Let’s take a look at Yeshua’s opinion of God’s law.

The Devil Made Me Do it.

In Luke 4:1, we see an interesting passage where HaSatan tempts Yeshua. Yeshua repels and gains victory over the adversary through his knowledge of the Torah, using it as an authority of truth.  Let’s look at this event and the words spoken by Yeshua and go back to the Torah and see what the context of these scriptures are. 

Luke 4:1

4:1 And Yeshua being full of the Holy Spirit returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he ate nothing: and when they had ended, afterward he was hungry.
3 And the devil said to him, If you are the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4 And Yeshua answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Deuteronomy 8:3

3 And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.
