Mark 1: 9-13; The Temptation of Jesus

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is one of the most meaningful passages in the entire gospel, the temptation of Jesus. Why? Because in this passage we are given the good news that Jesus has dealt with temptation, and that means Jesus can help us when we are tempted. Jesus knows what it means to face temptation, and because he knows that he can be there to help us as we face temptation. We do not follow a Lord who has no idea what we face. Rather, we follow a Lord who has been through what we go through. Specifically, Jesus has been tempted, which means for us he can, and will, be there to help us when we are tempted. God bless you.
