It’s always pleasing to find a shortcut to doing a job or while driving. Shortcuts in work and driving save time and frustration. Shortcuts in the Christian walk, however, don’t work out so well. God has a plan for us and a timing for that plan – and if we try to get ahead of Him things rarely end well. Pastor Mark is teaching from Luke and showing us how Jesus handled things like temptation. Jesus resisted temptation because He was filled with the Holy Spirit and He didn’t rely on His strength to resist the devil – He used scripture and the power of the Holy Spirit. And He expects us to do the same.
