Now, Jesus recapitulates this, right? Jesus in the wilderness, he faces a battle with Satan. And the battle is turn these stones into bread, throw yourself down from the parapet of the temple and bow down before me and you get the kingdoms of the world. We have where all of us, including our forefathers, Adam and Eve, where we all fail. Here's Jesus succeeding in resisting the lust of the flesh.

He doesn't change stones into bread. unless of the eyes, he doesn't want to be seen and pursue fame and the pride of life. He does not give into that worship of anything, anyone other than the Lord God himself. And just so remarkable and so incredible. Oh gosh. And I mentioned that we have been made into God's children in there in John chapter, first John chapter three, St.

John says this, he says, see what love the father has given us that we should be called children of God. And so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now. It does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is, which is just a gift.

I can't even begin to highlight the gift that that is, that God has already bestowed on us in letting us be called his sons and daughters. Like we mentioned yesterday, going from a marionette to a real boy and a real girl to be actual sons and daughters of the Father. Second Thessalonians, just one quick note. And that is once again, St. Paul loves these people.

He loves them so much, but he's also highlighting to them, highlighting for them that do not turn away from the gospel that you are given and do not go running after people who are saying that no, Jesus already came and you missed him. Do not, do not do this because what's going to happen is there is more tribulation to come.

And Jesus, believe me, you will not miss him when he arrives, when he returns, you will not miss him. And that is a very important thing for all of us to note. In chapter three at the end, St. Paul also was recognizing that some of these people were saying, well, you know what? Jesus is coming right away. So I don't really have to work. I don't have to invest. I don't have to

put any effort into anything because he's coming. So why, you know, plant crops? Because shoot, you know, sooner or later, he's going to be here probably sooner. And so those crops won't be needed to be, I don't need to take care of the people around me. I don't need to take care of myself. And so St. Paul is saying, no, no, no, no, no.
