As we enter into this season of Lent, we are reminded rather quickly of Jesus' 40 day temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). Think about this: if Jesus gives in to even one of these temptations, there is no cross. It's a deal-breaker. He resists the temptations, but the journey is just beginning. We have a tendency to think that if we can just get over the temptation hurdle, life will be easy. But the journey is just beginning, and it leads to the cross. So what are you packing in your packs to help you resist temptation along the way?
We will be meeting in the GCUMC sanctuary this Thursday at 7:00 (Guilford is on spring break), so help us spread the word!
