This
week, we will consider Matthew 3:13 to 4:11 -- the baptism and temptation of
Christ. Our "Encounters with Jesus" in the Gospels so far have
been with ordinary people and have helped to illuminate the different ways in
which we engage with Christ as he engages with us. Now, we will see how
Jesus interacted with supernatural entities: his father the Lord God and the
devil. The fate of creation was at stake, and how Christ dealt with evil
has much to teach us about our own relationship with the broken world around
us.
