The temptation of Jesus in the wilderness is a familiar story—but what if there is more happening in this encounter than we first realize?
Following His baptism, Jesus is led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness, where He faces forty days of temptation. Luke’s account draws our attention not only to the battle itself, but also to the important role of the Spirit throughout it.
Was this a real struggle for Jesus? Why was He led into the wilderness in the first place? And what can His experience teach us about facing temptation in our own lives?
This sermon takes a closer look at this powerful encounter and discover why what happened in the wilderness still matters for us today.
