Images and Idols
When someone challenges our identity, we get angry. But maybe the problem is that we’ve built our identities on the wrong things. Israel made the same mistake – they had allowed the Law and the Temple to define who they were, and injustice flourished. Jesus’ temple cleansing and the 10 commandments help us to identify the idols in our lives so that we can confess our sin and ground our identities in God. We can be free to engage others with generosity and love when we’re not busy protecting our sense of self.

During this series, we’ve been exploring the three temptations using Dostoyevsky’s “The Grand Inquisitor”.
This Sunday, we’re going to switch things up. I’m going to share some of my own fiction that I’ve used to reflect on the nature of Jesus third test.
What did it mean that Satan told Jesus to worship him? How could Satan offer up the kingdoms of the world?
Questions to consider… until we gather on Sunday. See you then!
