LENT 4, WILDERNESS, The Temptation To Be Spectacular

🌵 Lent 4, Wilderness with Andrés Pérez ​THE TEMPTATION TO BE SPECTACULAR The third temptation to which Jesus was exposed was the temptation to do something spectacular. In the words of Henri Nouwen, “Jesus refused to be a stunt man. He did not come to prove himself. Don’t put the Lord your God to the test, he said (ITNOJ, 41). We explore how the example of Jesus should challenge the way we respond to the temptation to be spectacular in a competitive and individualistic society.
