River City Church - Smyrna, GA
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Dr. Cheryl Bridges Johns shares from Matthew 4 about the temptation of Jesus. We can see Jesus' temptations as ones for the "quick and easy" and for the "spectacle" and for "power." We ourselves often want things quick and easy -- especially from God. We want to be a part of a spectacle, and we want power in some form or another. But if the spiritual journey is as Eugene Peterson described it -- "long obedience in the same direction" -- we find that that obedience is often slow and hidden and often doesn't result in positions of power. Matthew 4:1-11.
