Facing Temptation (Luke 4:1-13)
from Cyril Guerette — Sermons & Teaching
The Groundswell Church, Walk With Jesus (Lent 2023: A Lukan Journey) · Luke 4 “It's basically saying to God — I need you more than this. God, I need you more than sugar. I need you more than chips. I need you more than meat. I need you more than Facebook. This is what we're saying if you practise this, right? … And this is exactly what Jesus teaches us. He's giving up this — and he's in this moment of weakness — and this hunger is coming to him, and then it says that the enemy comes to him — the adversary. And I just want to point out that I believe this enemy is a real being. … However, there are spiritual forces at work — that he's like the Godfather. … The good news is Christ himself is strong.” Passage: Luke 4:1–2 Read the post: https://www.cyrilguerette.com/sermon-blog/2023-02-26-facing-temptation Each year as we follow Christ, the Church retraces the steps Jesus journeyed towards the Cross, where he died to free all humankind from our bondage to sin and Satan. As winter turns to spring, we walk with Jesus through the ancient stories told by Luke, immersing ourselves in his life to learn to live like he did. His heart and mission are on full display as he faces great obstacles on his path to save the world. Through his death and resurrection our lives are transformed, and we are able to traverse the earth here and now, walking the trail that he blazed.
