Our gospel reading for the First Sunday in Lent is Luke 4:1-13, where Luke tells the story of Jesus being tempted. As we enter into the season of Lent, a season of reflection and fasting, a season of preparation for our annual celebration of Easter, what does Jesus being tempted in the wilderness have to do with us? Most of us would probably not claim that Satan or some adversary had come to us and tempted us to engage in this or that behavior, especially temptations like Jesus faced - turning stones into bread, jumping off the roofs of buildings, or inheriting the kingdoms of the world, so what are we to make of Jesus being tempted in the wilderness? And what difference does it make for us if Jesus was tempted? Even more, if Jesus’ temptation does make any difference at all, what does it say to us as we strive to follow Christ, to be more like him, to take up the cross and follow?
