The Voice of Luke: Part 1 – “Jesus Alone: The Temptations”

Luke 4:1-13 (NRSV). The biblical account of the temptation of Jesus as described in Luke’s Gospel should put us in the right mind to approach Lent as a time for reflection, penance and prayer in preparation for Easter. Jesus begins His ministry in the wilderness. Lent is a wilderness time for us. Jesus was “full of the Holy Spirit and we all should want to be “full of the Holy Spirit.” If you are full of the Spirit as a Christian, you will face your own wilderness at some point. But the Spirit doesn’t desert you in the desert, just like he did not desert Jesus in the wilderness. In the wilderness, Jesus, “full of the Holy Spirit,” turns to the word of God. Will you? If you have been blessed from hearing this message, please feel free to sow into our ministry. Amen.https://pushpay.com/g/covenantcommunitychurchSupport the show
