Listen "Jesus Is Tempted by the Devil"
Episode Synopsis
Speaker: Rev. Thomas R. Zehnder
Scripture Focus: Deuteronomy 26:1–11, Romans 10:8b–13, & Luke 4:1–13
Service Summary: The First Sunday in Lent begins with the temptation of Jesus. Alone in the wilderness, Jesus faces the temptations of the devil, who tries to use God’s own Word to entrap Jesus. The collect reminds us that we are also walking through the wilderness of this world, taunted and tempted by the devil, who still uses God’s Word to entrap us. Jesus does not simply show us how to resist but reveals that our strength lies in the same Word of God. In Christ, we stand strong against the wiles of the devil and, when and if we fall, we find refuge in Christ to be forgiven and restored.
