Wilderness (from suffering to solace)
Thursday – 38 days before Easter
Matthew 4:1-11
While Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days, he no doubt spent time praying, thinking, worshipping, resting, and abiding with his Father. But we are given just a short retelling that focuses primarily on Jesus’ use of Scripture to dispel lies and protect his heart, soul, and mind. As you read today, ask yourself these questions:
- Why is Scripture so central to this story?
- What role does Scripture play in my own life?
- How does my own knowledge and understanding of Scripture need to grow and deepen?
