![]() Now, when we studied the life of Jesus, it's important to recognize that he always has two similar kinds of works that he is doing. They really had two jobs, finishing the drywall and fixing whatever mistakes I had made along the way. It was so bad that what was happening is they were realizing that they didn't just have one job finishing the drywall. They looked at it like some monkey had done this to the walls, and one of them even said, well, I think it's a good thing when people try things that they've never done before. I thought that when they came in, they would look at this work and say, what good work you've done, congratulations, we'll take it from here. So we brought in a couple of contractors to see what it would cost to finish it all off. But I realized that I probably wasn't the person who could bring this to completion. Well, it got to a point where a lot of work had been done, and I was actually fairly proud of what I had accomplished. I worked hours and hours over a course of a number of weeks trying to get this dry wall finished because I figured, well, what's the harm? What's the worst that this could do? A contractor had hung the drywall, but we said that we wanted to do the cutting and the taping and all of that that was involved in that. We were renovating our basement a little bit. So on that principle, a few years ago, I tried my hand, did a little drywall in work. I'm looking for the kinds of things that inevitably when I screw them up, it won't be that big of a deal. I'm not going to touch plumbing because that can flood your home. The big question that I'm always wrestling with is, is this something that I could badly screw up or not? I'm not going to touch electricity because bad electrical work can cause a fire. But I do want to clarify that I do try to do a number of do it yourself projects on my own. My wife does a number of those tasks in our home. ![]() I mentioned last week that I'm not a very handy person with repair projects around the house. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God endures forever. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’” 11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’” 7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. Hear now, the word of the Lord from Matthew 4:1-11.Ĥ Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
