I finished the puppet theatre today. I think it looks good, if I do say so myself. There's a few little things that I may need to do yet, but it's good for now. Oh, and my mother-in-law is making the curtains for it. I'll post a picture after it's done.
Matthew 4
I look at Satan's temptations of Jesus and it makes me wonder a couple of things. The temptations were real, otherwise this whole story is a farce. Why? How did Jesus know who He was? Did He always just know? He is very confident of who He is. I wonder if at some point Satan's tempting was, uh, tempting. Or perhaps did the fact that Satan was tempting Him only reinforce His identity? Jesus was fully human, so did He have a jumble of doubts and fears rumbling around in his head, too? Maybe that's not necessarily a necessary human trait, it just seems like it.
The thing I like about Jesus here is that He stands firm in what He believes. If I can relate to what's happening to Him, I can stand firm in what I know to be true. I have lots if fears and doubts, but I've also been given what I nee to overcome them, the truth.
Well, in the immortal words of Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie: As God has shown us by turning stones to bread/ so we all must lend a helping hand (yeah, yeah, yeeaahh). ;)
