  12. Jesus’ Challenge Then the devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” “…and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “ You are my dearly love Son, and you bring me great joy.” Luke 3:22

  13. Challenge of Temptation • Baptism’s voice – “You are my child in whom I have great Joy.” • Temptation’s voice – “If you do this, you will be my God’s Son.”

  18. Jesus’ Challenge • Jesus defined his life by listening to the Father… • Baptism’s Word – Your Identity is with Me • The Father’s Process – Struggle creates dependence • The Human Experience – I have real needs but only as my need for God is satisfied can I be satisfied.

  19. Closing Thought Jesus calls us to put our identity in the Father as we wrestle through the wildernesses of our life.

  20. Application • Do some spring cleaning…
