Baptism and Temptations of Jesus – Jesus began His ministry with baptism by John the Baptist, and temptations in the wilderness by Satan. He was baptized as an example to us, His temptations offer a warning to us. When we get serious about our faith, Satan comes after us harder than ever. We cannot just Try to live for Jesus. We must Train to do it; and when we fail, we Trust God’s grace to sustain us.
