Fortieth day of Great Lent.
Jesus fasted for forty days and at the end of the fast he was tempted by the devil.
On the 40th day of the Great Lent which is always a Friday, the church commemorates the tempting of Jesus and his triumph over Satan.
Jesus was led up into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil (St. Matthew 4: 1).
The number forty is used by God to represent a period of testing or judgment
(the length of time necessary to accomplish some major part of Gods plan in his dealings with various portions of mankind).
We who are baptized into the Lord should not be surprised if we are also tempted like him.
We should not be defeated when temptations come, but triumph over Satan; like Jesus we are also aided by the Spirit.
We also see that Jesus fasted to overcome temptation, giving us an example of our own power and limitations.
We all have done our 40days Noyambu (lent) to rejuvenate the Holy Spirit, now we walk with master the God,
with his strength
with his power
with truth
Hence it’s worth enough to us reminiscence the Hosanna to Resurrection of Jesus the Savior.
