Jesus Is Tested | Online Bible Study

Jesus publicly came onto the scene through His baptism. He was set up to kick off His ministry with prestige and popularity. But where did the Holy Spirit send Him next? To the wilderness to be tempted. The connections here between Adam and Christ, the Israelites’ wilderness and Jesus’ wilderness, and the forty days Moses spent at Sinai with the forty days Jesus spent in this setting should not be overlooked. While we are going to focus primarily on the connection between Adam and Christ, the others are nonetheless significant and relevant as well. Through the temptations of Christ, we will see not only how Jesus is the true and better Adam but will also get a powerful glimpse into the type of Messiah He is and will learn how to stand firm in the face of temptation.
