STEADY! STEADY THERE!!
Matthew 3:13-17; Matthew 4:12-16
Jesus started in on the great task appointed him. It was uphill work from the start. There seemed no chance, humanly, of getting through. There was every, chance, humanly, of failing dismally. But he had no doubt of the Father’s plan; that was enough. Steadily, prayerfully, he began. The first step was clear. He took it, and took it heel and toe, fully and bravely. This is the way for us. He’s our Example.
