For forty days, Jesus found himself in the wilderness praying and fasting before He began His public ministry. And in this time, temptation was all around him. Jesus became one of us and faced the very things we battle in our own lives. He was tempted, he was tested, he was hungry, he was thirsty, his body felt weak and weary, He was isolated and struggling. Everywhere He looked, temptation was lurking. But during these forty days, Jesus turned every temptation into an opportunity to trust God. Instead of finding a quick fix, Jesus fixed His gaze to God, continuously combatting the lies of the enemy with the truth of God’s Word.
