The Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert, and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan. He was among wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.- Mk 1:12-13
those who see no temptations are blind
those who hear no temptations are deaf
those who suffer no temptations are dead
Jesus became human to suffer temptations
and triumph over them
we who are blind will see
we who are deaf will hear
we who are dead in sin
will be raised with him
Jesus came to proclaim the good news:
we can have life in abundance
all we have to do is
die
to ourselves
and follow him to the Father
fear not the temptations of our deserts
while only angels ministered to him
Jesus himself will tend to us
if our hearts be meek like his sheep
the time of fulfillment has come
the Kingdom of God is at hand
repent and live the good news
