Temptation of Jesus

Saturday, February 13, 2016

First Sunday of Lent  -   Jesus is tempted by the Devil.

        

The temptations of Jesus were three.

The devil tempted him 1) to use his power selfishly for his own benefit 2) to subject himelf to devil for glory and power

3) to dispute with God in orde to prove his identity as Son of God.

All our temptations will fall into one of three that Jesus faced.

Every temptation is an occasion to prove our worth to ourself .

Time of temptation is like a furnace not to get burnt in it but to come out of it like a shining silver.

Please read from the Goepel of Luke (4:1-13) chapter 4 verses 1 to 13.
