Description
"The most important piece in our formation, and through temptation... is looking away from ourselves, to Christ, who triumphed for us."
In this chapel message from Matthew 3-4 and Colossians 3, Ross Hastings illuminates the dynamics of our spiritual formation amidst temptation. Hastings calls us to be formed not by studying ourselves and our own virtues, but by looking away from ourselves, to Christ, and deepening our union with him through contemplation and imitation.
