Today's podcast for 'Reading Luke in Lent' looks at Luke, Chapter 4: 1-13.
Jesus, strengthened by the Holy Spirit, is led into the wilderness. Luke has just made a connection between Jesus and Adam who was also tempted but failed and was cast out of paradise.
The other connection is with the people of Israel who wandered 40 years in the desert and again succumbed to the temptations on route.
'Reading Luke in Lent' is a series of simple podcasts for the Lenten season offering a daily reading from St Luke - covering the Gospel from start to finish - from Ash Wednesday to the first week of Easter.
