As we continue to make our way on the Jesus Path, we come next to the desert terrain of Jesus' temptations. These temptations were calculated, cunning, and very real to Jesus. They were a challenge to his identity and mission. And so, as we travel the terrain of this portion of the trail, there is much to learn about the serpentine side trails we are often tempted to travel in life. For the next four Sundays, we will be making our way through this wilderness. This Sunday we begin by looking at what was so alluring about Jesus' temptations and why they often trip us up as well. I hope it will be a fun and thoughtful morning together.
