Lenten Reflection - 3rd Temptation - Doubt

Lenten Reflection - 3rd Temptation - Doubt

Author: Matthew Maloney March 31, 2019 Duration: 1:01

The Devil's third temptation for Jesus in the Wilderness is Doubt. He leads Jesus to Jerusalem the city where he will soon be rejected and crucified. There he made him stand on the edge of the temple roof, and said to Him "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here " then flipping the script he tries to trap Jesus with some scripture quoting of his own" for it is written: He will command his angels to guard you, With their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone. But again Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy knowing he's trying to make him doubt God's care and rebukes him by saying,"It also says, 'You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.'" Jesus is referring back to the times the Israelites where tempted in Exodus. Lent is like a mini exodus leading us to the victory of Easter. We must always keep God as our refuge and fortress in whom we trust to see us to victory.

 


In a world of constant noise and shifting foundations, Know The Faith-Traditional Catholic Lessons and Prayers offers a space of quiet clarity and depth. Hosted by Matthew Maloney, this podcast serves as a thoughtful guide through the rich, enduring teachings and spiritual practices of traditional Catholicism. It’s not about headlines or debates, but about returning to the core-the doctrines, devotions, and liturgical heritage that have sustained believers for centuries. Each episode feels like a considered conversation or a lesson in the best sense, breaking down elements of theology, scripture, and history in a way that is both substantive and accessible. You’ll find explanations of foundational beliefs alongside guided prayers, creating a rhythm of learning and worship. This is for anyone seeking to understand their faith more profoundly, to find roots in a timeless tradition, or to simply incorporate more structured prayer into their daily life. The tone is reverent yet welcoming, assuming a seeking mind rather than a scholarly background. By weaving instruction with practice, this podcast provides listeners with both the knowledge and the tools to live out a deeper, more intentional spiritual life, drawing directly from the well of Catholic tradition.
