This week we talk about the three temptations of Jesus according to Richard Rohr. In Matthew’s Gospel, the temptations are not just isolated events but profound lessons for us all.
In the first temptation, Jesus confronts the challenge to misuse personal power. In a world where the allure of greatness and recognition can be overwhelming, Jesus teaches us the importance of humility and using power for the common good.
The second temptation takes us to the pinnacle of religious misuse. Here, Jesus resists the temptation to engage in transactional religion, emphasizing the true essence of transformation and spiritual growth over mere ritual.
Lastly, the third temptation exposes the allure of political power. While not inherently evil, Jesus shows us the dangers of wielding power without a deep grounding in moral values and service to the common good.
Join us as we navigate these timeless lessons, challenging ourselves to embrace our divine identity and wield power responsibly for the betterment of all.
