Just Say No…To Temptation (1LB-18)

Jesus is in the desert of temptation, but does not sin. We also do not need to be ruled by temptation, but instead choose Life and the path that God has made for us.

 Jesus is lead into the desert by the Spirit and is tempted by Satan. We learn that Jesus lives out the perfect humanity between wild beasts and angels, flesh and spirit, and body and soul. From the scar of original sin, concupiscence, we tend toward the low, earthly, and sinful. We are not abandoned there, but redeemed and shown a better way if we but repent and believe in the Gospel. Turn away from sin and turn toward God’s grace and his truth. “Lord, I can’t, you can, please do!” 2/18/18
