In today’s podcast we focus on Matthew’s account of Jesus completing 40 days in the desert. It is not clear whether Matthew is drawing a connection between Jesus’ time in the desert and the Israelites wandering around in the desert for 40 years. What is noteworthy is that we have Jesus being tempted by the devil. The temptations give us insight into the heart and mission of Jesus.
The first one is the devil suggesting that Jesus turn the stones into bread. Jesus is clearly hungry. He had fasted for a long time. It would make sense, at least superficially, to use his power to regain his strength. Jesus is not seduced by this reasoning and realized the ends did not justify the means.
