St. Paul Lutheran Church

When Jesus is tempted by Satan to turn stones into bread in the midst of his 40 days of fasting, the temptation is real for His hunger is real. Yet Jesus knew more was at stake in the moment than his ability to turn stones into bread but rather His trust in the plans of the Father. He withstood this temptation so that when we given into temptation His death and resurrection could make us whole while at the same time by His power we can stand in the midst of temptation.
