## In the story

### [The Temptation in the Wilderness](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/unspoken_sermons_se/chapters/the-temptation-in-the-wilderness)

Mentioned as possibly sinning by attempting to compel God to act or hasten His work, similar to the presumption of making a stone into bread.

### [Love Thy Neighbour](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/unspoken_sermons_se/chapters/love-thy-neighbour)

Mentioned as the 'only unredeemed' in a hypothetical scenario about descending into hell for a brother.

### [The Final Unmasking](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/unspoken_sermons_se/chapters/the-final-unmasking)

Used as an example of treachery and the horror of self-revelation; his kiss betrayed the Master, and he is contrasted with the idea that many carry the same germ of treachery.
