Worship into the Week-
Lectionary C
(for March 10, 2019)
Luke 4:1-13
The Temptation of Jesus.
Time in the wilderness.
Part of the significance here is the contrast
for what Jesus was able to do-
resist Satan- that Adam and Eve could not.
Things were going to be different.
This section of Scripture shows Jesus
as anointed by God,
representative of humanity
and faithful to God.
Satan sees the new rules of the quest.
Jesus is fully dependent on His Father.
and HIs Heavenly Father is faithful to him.
It is no easy life in the wilderness
outside of Jerusalem.
Desolate and barren-
as depicting a life
without a relationship with Jesus.
Jesus is able to both withstand
the temptation and rebuke Satan-
because of his connectedness
to a higher guidance.
We are reminded that our feeble attempts
to resist Satan on our own will be futile.
We too, must depend and be fully reliant
on the power of a higher guidance-
our own reliance on our Heavenly Father.
