LENT AS A TIME OF TESTING | MATTHEW 4:1-4

With Jesus as our model, we should expect temptations much as he did.
Jesus’s temptation in the wilderness is an apt passage to begin a Lenten journey. Prof. Wright reminds us that, as the embodiment of the people of Israel, Jesus symbolically enacts their journey, succeeding where they, and where we all, fail. Jesus serves as a model for our own testing, which will surely come if we, like Jesus, trust the affirmations and plans of God our Father.

PEOPLE OF PROMISE

People of Promise is a new weekly devotional series reflecting on the rhythms of traditional seasons in the Church year. 

People of Promise: Reflecting the Rhythms of Lent presents passages from Scripture to illuminate the themes of Lent and provide encouragement for your spiritual walk. Prof. Wright invites viewers to follow Jesus in the way of the cross, sustained by the scriptures, as we look towards the purposes of God. 

People of Promise video devotionals arrive every Monday through the liturgical seasons of Lent, Eastertide, and Advent. Make sure you like the video and subscribe to our channel so you never miss a single one.
