Message: Matthew 4:1-11 "The Rhythms of Becoming"
Many of the wilderness experiences mentioned in the bible
are drawn out of 40 year or 40 day experiences. The idea is that our change and
transformation takes a drawn out period of time. Jesus not only underwent 40
days in the wilderness, but he also made it a habit to withdraw to
'wilderness/deserted places' to spend time with God. This means that as a human
being, Jesus developed healthy spiritual life rhythms as he grew in his
life with God. We too are invited to create healthy spiritual rhythms in
our lives so that we might develop into the fullness of who God is inviting us
to become.
