Spiritual Acuteness
Luke 4:9-13
And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.…


There is a story of a limner, that to show his art, drew a white line so small that it could hardly be discerned; another, to show that he could excel him, drew a black line through the middle of it. It required an acute sight to detect either. But our Saviour at first view immediately discerned the black line of temptation to run through the plausible advice that Satan gave Him.
