The Temptation

The Spirit led Jesus into the desert. There, Satan tempted him with three visions of the Messiah, the bread giver, the ruler of nations and the master of the Temple. All three were self serving. All three he rejected in deference to his Father. He chose obedience over pride.

apostolic-times.com continues with context for the season's readings. In Romans 10, St. Paul saw acceptance of salvation as inner conviction and public confession at baptism. In Luke 4, Jesus faced temptation in the desert.

Have you been tempted by the allure of change? This question is addressed in the Gospel Story "Going Home." This is a three minute video with a short story of a life situation, a moral from the gospel and a reflection question.
