Led Into the Wilderness
Matthew 4:1
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
They that are led by the Spirit are the sons of God. You won't miss it.
🙏
The idea that Jesus was intentionally directed by the Spirit of God into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil is a theologically challenging concept.
Yet that is precisely what the Gospels indicate:
It doesn’t take long in our Christian walk to discover that temptations frequently come.
We might wonder, does God deliberately orchestrate such tests, or was the wilderness temptation of Jesus an exclusive experience only for the Son of Man?
As we consider these questions, we’ll see that God allows His followers to be tested for a good purpose.
Christ’s experience in the wilderness serves as an example for Christian disciples. But as we study the account, an even deeper meaning is revealed.
He was led into the wilderness to be tempted because God wanted His Son and His followers to understand the Lord’s messianic mission clearly—that Christ had not come to earth as Israel’s Conquering King but as her Suffering Servant in also human flesh.
That you are going through any trial as His children, they are not to kill you but that His name is glorified.
2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
Whatever challenges you are going through right now, you are coming out in glory, honour and virtue even on this day In Jesus Mighty Name Amen!.
