Changed Landscape From Troy Thompson Nov 22 at 10:52 AM Good Morning Light To The World, Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. (Matthew Chapter 4 Verse 1) How are you all doing on this fantastic Friday? I hope you are all having a blessed morning. Eden was a breathtakingly beautiful garden year-around. And it was in that garden that Adam and Eve basked in the stunning creation of God and the joy of perfect harmony with Him (God) and with each other. Until, that is, Satan arrived on the scene, bringing weeds, thorns, destruction, and death. You cant help but notice the contrast between the landscape in Genesis Chapter 1 and Matthew Chapter 4. The same tempter who once entered Gods garden now welcomes God to his turf-the dangerous, barren wilderness. The wilderness can be a picture of what the world-and life-becomes when Satan has his way. With one decisive blow, the joy of Eden was replaced with the barrenness of shame (Read Genesis Chapter 3). But Jesus was victorious on Satans turf (Read Matthew Chapter 4). In that victory He (Jesus) gives us hope that we too can have victory. A victory that shows us the enemy no longer holds sway. A victory that assures us the day is coming when we will no longer toil in Satans wilderness but will be ushered into heaven, where the joy of Eden will be ours forever. Now thats something to look forward to! God Bless, As you journey through the wilderness of temptation, Christs victory is your.
