This Week’s Gospel Message for Sunday, March 1st is from Matthew 4:1-11.
“At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. . .Jesus answered him, ‘Again it is written, You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test’. . .‘The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.’”
“In Jesus we have a model of resisting temptation through obedience. Do we have the wisdom to obey our conscience or do we foolishly give in to temptation?” Source: Pastoral Patterns, Winter 2019-2020
