There are few moments as dramatic as Jesus' showdown with Satan in the wilderness.  Three temptations.  Three answers from scripture, and the devil is defeated.  But what about your life?  Few of us can claim a dramatic showdown with Satan, but does that mean that Satan has been defeated?  Or just that we have been deceived?

"Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man."  Peter's words ring true.  When we recognize our sinfulness it is natural to want distance from God.  We do not want His holy eyes looking at our sinful hearts, thoughts, and actions.  But Jesus said to Peter, "Do not be afraid."  And He says the same to you.

We want to look good.  People in our nation wear the nicest clothes, invest hundreds of dollars in makeup and thousands in plastic surgery.  But God's Word calls us to dress up in compassion, humility, gentleness, patience, and love.  God calls us to give up the endless pursuit of outward beauty, but rather to be content, thankful, and beautiful in His sight.

"Show me that you love me."  We learn quickly in this world of deception that words are not enough.  If you want to know something for sure, you have to see it.  And that's what Christmas is all about.  God does not just give us a promise of His love.  He shows us His love in a child who is born, only to die for us and for the forgiveness of our sins.

Sometimes we need some encouragement.  Sometimes we need direction.  And our God provides us with both.  He gives us direction for how to live our lives, and empowers us through the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus to live out our calling as His forgiven people.
