The testing of Jesus came right on the heels of the baptism, that amazing declaration of God that this was his son. And isn’t that often the case? Right after an exhilarating experience with God we find ourselves being tested. The keys for us in overcoming our temptations are found in how Jesus responded to his. But the big picture question is, what if? What if Jesus had given in? If Jesus had given in it would mean that he had given up on us…and that he simply would not do!
Scripture reading: Luke 4:1-12
