Lessons from the Wilderness

The Spirit, God, led the Son into the wilderness to be tempted. Right after the baptism. Why? Why then?   To prove that the Son was sinless and thus a qualified Savior.

Job was also tested, but he sinned.  Jesus can do what humans can't do. 

When we are tempted we will often fail. Is this failure? Not if we are abiding in Christ. Not if we confess it and clear the slate. But if we let temptation germinate into sin that goes unconfessed, we are putting a barrier between us and God.  We know it, God knows it.

Be ready with these answers to temptation... {listen in}
