March 9 Worship & Bible Class
Jesus faces Satan…and wins. Though emaciated after 40 days of fasting, Christ clings to the Word, trusts His Father, and eschews any thought that the devil’s promises are something worth following. He is our champion, come to win the fight against Satan for us. He is our hero, inspiring us soldiers to join the fight. You may prepare by reading the Propers of the day.
O Lord, throughout these forty days
You prayed and kept the fast;
Inspire repentance for our sin,
And free us from our past.
You strove with Satan, and You won;
Your faithfulness endured;
Lend us Your nerve, Your skill and trust
In God’s eternal Word.
