I hope that this email is useful, and that you are able to spend a few minutes at noon each day, as we pray together as a church family. Please do keep sending your prayer suggestions to me, so that we can make sure we are praying around the needs, burdens and encouragements of our whole church family.
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. (Luke 4:1-2)
Immediately after his baptism, Jesus goes into the wilderness and fasts for 40 days. During that time, he was tempted by the devil. Why does this happen? Why is it recorded for us? What do we learn about Jesus? What do we learn about us?

When all the people were being baptised, Jesus was baptised too. (Luke 3:21)
Jesus begins his earthly ministry by being baptised by John in the Jordan. Why was Jesus baptised with John’s baptism of repentance? Does the Son of God need to repent, or is there something more to it?
