In this Ash Wednesday message, we explore how Jesus’ victory over temptation in the wilderness flows from wholehearted surrender to the will and word of God.
Drawing on Matthew 4:1–11, we see that temptation is a real and universal fight - even for Jesus. But that true strength is found not in control or self-reliance, but in trusting God’s provision, protection, and plan. By resisting Satan with Scripture, Jesus triumphs where Adam failed, offering not only an example but a Saviour who now lives in us.
The call is clear: resist temptation by surrendering to God, and live a life relentlessly yielded to Christ.
