GOSPEL READING:LUKE 4:1-13
When the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time.
————————————
Jesus had just received Baptism and he was getting ready for his public ministry. As he was entering into his public ministry he started it with forty days of retreat. He was tempted by the devil. He was wrestling within himself about his future ministry and the attitudes to with which he should go about his ministry.
The devil wanted him to trust in his own self and his talents (you can change the stone into bread) but Jesus answered saying that he would go about his ministry with the word of God only. The devil wanted him to start his own kingdom in the world with his own power and glory but Jesus replied him saying that he would worship the Lord God only. When the devil tempted him with activities in the Temple precincts, Jesus response was one of not tempting God. Jesus entered his public ministry with the word of God and worship of God only.

அலகை சோதனைகள் அனைத்தையும் முடித்தபின்பு ஏற்ற காலம் வரும் வரை அவரைவிட்டு அகன்றது.

பொதுப்பணியை துவங்குமுன் இயேசு நாற்பது நாள் தியானம் செய்கிறார். அதன் முடிவில் அவர் எடுக்கும் தீர்மானங்கள் அவர் பணிக்கு துணை நிற்கின்றன. இறைவார்த்தையை மட்டும் தன்னில் கொண்டவராய், ஆண்டவராகிய இறைவனை மட்டும் வழிபடுபவராய், இறைவனை சோதியாதவராய் தன்பணியை துவங்குகிறார்.
