‘Temptation in the desert’
Opening Prayer
The world is full of darkness and shadows,
But now it is filled with the light so everyone can
See God sent us his only son to fill our world
With peace and love ( Isaiah 9: 1-2,6)
AMEN
Gospel – Luke 4 1-3
Discussion Questions
How long was Jesus in the desert?
40 days
- Why did Jesus go to the desert?
To be closer to God and to think.
- Did Jesus find it easy in the desert?
Many times Jesus was tempted to take the easy way out, but he chose not to.
- Can you remember the 3 temptations Jesus said no to?
- To turn a stone into bread
- To become king of all the land
- To jump off the roof and test God’s love
- Bonus: Why do you think Jesus never fell for any of the temptations
(have your child come up with their own answers before telling them )
Closing Prayer
Lord Jesus,
You never give up, even when you found it more difficult.
During the sex weeks of Lent, help us to be strong
And to keep our promises as a sign of our love for you.
AMEN
