Question for Reflection – Luke 4:1-13

Question for Reflection:

In Luke 4:1-13, the devil tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread, to take control of the kingdoms of the world, and to perform a spectacular stunt that would “wow” the crowd. Jesus refused to take control in these ways. Instead, Jesus chose another way to feed hungry people, to demonstrate what the kingdom of God looks like, and to enter Jerusalem humbly. Why do you think Jesus chose another way to “do justice” and what are some ways that you and your faith community practice justice in his name?
