Gathered in Jesus | The If/Then Temptation, March 6, 2022

Luke 4:1-13 Lent 1, Year C The Gospel good news is that there are no ifs. There are no buts. No fine print. We have begun our journey through Lent in the wilderness because Lent is a time of being in the desert, being in the wilderness. We live in the wilderness. We live in a world where the temptation to assume Christ's throne as our own is always present. We opt for the most reasonable decision, planned entirely, leaving nothing to chance, and in doing so, push God entirely out of the picture. God, relegated to the private, while we wander the wilderness seeking ways to ascend when the truth is that God has already descended to us.
