REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
What are some stories from Scripture that you would rather not read? Are there some specific ones that seem troubling to you?
How does Jesus's temptation in the wilderness help us understand our own temptations and weaknesses?
Can you share a personal experience where you faced temptation? Where did it come from? How did you respond? How would you respond now?
Why is it important for us to pray and ask God to not lead us into temptation and deliver us from evil? What do you think Jesus is really teaching us here about temptation and deliverance?
What is the role of Scripture in resisting temptation? How can we avoid misusing it, or trying to “win”?
Humility is at the center of this story: Jesus’s humility in choosing to share in our weaknesses and experience temptation… and the humility he calls us to, when it comes to how we might respond. What does humility mean to you? Where do you see it in your life? Where do you want to see it?
How might your “wilderness stories” be useful to others?
