Jesus goes straight from the water (His baptism), into the wilderness (His temptation). In the water – the faith-building place of acceptance, blessing and commissioning – the Word of God came over Him. And in the wilderness – the desolate place of danger, rejection and fear – the Word of God came out of Him. This is a pattern, for us. Because for the rest of our earthly lives, it’s going to be all about the water, and the wilderness.
At 3Ci, we believe that all of scripture can be summarised in one word: “Father”. So like the disciples, we say “show us the Father and that will be enough for us”’ and through every moment and all our ministries, we pursue the Father heart of God for ourselves and those we do life with.
