The Fast

The miracle of Jesus Christ’s 40 day fast in the desert is something that no human could ever accomplish. His perfect example of how to approach the Father through the sanctifying act of fasting shows how important the law of sacrifice is for each of us. This artwork depicts the Lord’s steadfastness, commitment, and exactness in resisting every temptation. He teaches us to keep walking the straight and narrow path back to our Heavenly Father until the sunset of our redemption.

The Bible - New Testament: Luke 4:1-2

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.”
