This impactful meditation invites us into the wilderness with a profound question: Who are we when we can't prove it? Drawing from both Genesis and Matthew's Gospel, we explore how the tempter's work isn't primarily about getting us to do bad things, but rather convincing us that who we are right now, within our limitations, isn't enough. The sermon traces two parallel stories: the serpent in Eden reframing God's one boundary as evidence that something is being withheld, and Satan in the wilderness challenging Jesus to prove his identity through supernatural demonstrations. What emerges is a startling insight: Adam and Eve had everything, yet reached past their one limitation seeking self-authorship, and what they gained wasn't power but shame. Jesus, conversely, stayed hungry and vulnerable in the desert, anchoring his identity not in performance but in the voice that claimed him at baptism: 'This is my beloved.' The message transforms our understanding of wilderness itself, reframing our limitations not as deficits but as landscapes of possibility where God's breath still meets us. Whether we carry oxygen units, face declining health, or navigate any constraint, we're challenged to ask not 'what can't I do anymore?' but 'who am I right here, with exactly what I've been given?' Our identity isn't built on capacity but on being claimed by God before we ever did anything to earn it.
