The First Sunday in Lent – Divine Service Three

 

The Lord Jesus crushes Satan and his wily deceptions.  The demise of Adam and Eve shrouds creation with turmoil, sin, and death.  One man’s disobedience reaps justification.  His sole abundant grace obliterates the gruesome consequence of one man’s trespass.  In all things, Jesus contends against Satan and triumphs.  Jesus combats countless temptations and strips evil deception of its sway.  Jesus casts out Satan completely, remaining steadfast as our Lord, God, and Savior.  

 

Genesis 3:1-21

Romans 5:12-19

Matthew 4:1-11

 

O Lord God, You led Your ancient people through the wilderness and brought them to the promised land. Guide the people of Your Church that following our Savior we may walk through the wilderness of this world toward the glory of the world to come; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
