Didn't seek it, didn't choose it, I must suffer if I lose it, Give account if 1 abuse it; Just a tiny littie minute But eternity is in it. Mr. Graham took the life of Judas Iscariot as his subject material as a spiritual. pro- paration for Easter. He is starting a series of med- itations regarding Easter, not from the point of view of Jesus's friends, but his enemies. Judas Iscariot is a detested man and yet think what he could have been as he was se near the cross and yet se far that he iost. He was very much like us - we could do so many things for God and yet we find Hlm at the last minute in our quest for salvation. St. PauI's Anglican The Communion Service sermon by Rev. Wainwright was based on the three temptations that Jesus had. It was after Jesus's baptism that He was confronted with these temptations just as Christians after accepting the faith, have more temptations. "if" - Satan comes to cast the doubt first and it is usually regard- ing ourselves or our relations with God. In the second attempt ho tried to make Jesus prove Himself. In the third he used "power" as bis effort to undermine Jesus. We have to place ourselves in this wilderness of temptation but we can overcome as we place ourselves in God's hands'and recognize we are His children and through Him we can become victorious over any difficulties.
