THE GOSPEL: Matthew 4.1-11
Jesus fasts for forty days and is tempted.
Matthew’s account of the temptation and the Genesis account of the Fall are both characterised by lies, half truths and “spin” on the commands of God. Our need for redemption springs from our choosing illusory truths and abandoning what we know deep down is the path that leads to life. Today’s readings expose that dynamic not to dispirit us but rather that we may have our eyes opened.
