The Rev Alissa Newton text: Matthew 4:1-11

"At every one of these moments Jesus chooses for and with us. This text is a great transition from the Season after Epiphany when we are all about Jesus being incarnated to this moment where Jesus actually chooses his incarnation. He chooses not to be different and apart from us. In the face of hunger and danger and coercive power Jesus chooses to be human. To be for us."
