Wilderness (from suffering to solace)
Tuesday – 40 days before Easter
Matthew 4:1-11
As you read today, take special note of how the devil tried to break down Jesus.
First the devil said, "If you are the Son of God..." Here, he tempts Jesus to question his own true identity as God's beloved son.
Then the devil said, "I will..." Here, he tempts Jesus to question the devil’s own identity by implying that Satan himself can do things that only the Almighty Father can.
How does the devil use the world’s lies to chip away at your identity? How does he cause you to question the Lord’s power and love for you? How will you defend yourself to stand firm against those onslaughts?
