Lent (Part II) – We now come to the Second Temptation of Jesus to throw himself off the Temple so that God, his Father, would send his angles to save him. This I would suggest is an attempt to persuade Jesus to bathe in his own glory or putting it more simply to ‘show off’ by revealing his power to the world. I can’t help but wonder how much I give into such temptation by emphasising my own self-importance. ‘So would it be too much to say that whenever or wherever the Church or its members seeks to put its own glory before God, it is being unfaithful to Jesus?’ (Page 50) Loving service is, in fact, the only way to follow Christ but how often does our own self-importance get in the way?
