Lent: Exploring an Obedience Even Unto Death.

In our darkest times, how do we resist temptation and hold steadfast to God's will? Jesus offers us the answer. When Satan tempted him with food while he was starving, Jesus did not give in, but rather took courage from scripture. When Satan tempted him with glory on Earth, Jesus did not listen, but hearkened back to the prophets before him, who found greater glory in God. Similarly, when we are deluged with difficulties and drowning in despair, we can turn to scripture, and rest assured that we are not alone, that many others have suffered, but kept to God's will, and reaped the greatest reward in the end.
