The temptation of Jesus
Matthew 4:1 " Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the dessert to be tempted by the devil. 2 after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread. 4 Jesus answered, "It is written a Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." Temptation!! Here in Advent season we are to be preparing our hearts for Christmas. Reflecting on our sinful nature and our need for a Savior and rejoicing knowing Jesus is He!! Yet, Advent season is also labeled the "Holiday Season!" And instead of the focus being " Holy" as featured in the word Holiday, it becomes an indulgent season. We have an expectation to spend extra monies, make bigger feasts and Have extra sweets. Seems like that's almost the opposite of reflecting on our need for a Savior. I spent 29 years trying yo quit drinking CHRISTMAS PARTY SEASON was always a hard one for me to make it through. This Advent let's truly reflect on sincerity of heart and keep Jesus as the reason for The season. Merry Christmas 😇🙏🎄🦅❤️🌸
