In this passage, we see that immediately after Jesus' baptism and public affirmation from the Father, the Holy Spirit leads Jesus into the desert to be tempted. Yet unlike Adam in the garden, Jesus overcame the temptations of the devil. How do we deal with temptation in our lives? How do we overcome temptations as Jesus did?

How do we know that Jesus is trustworthy? Few take issue with him being a respectable teacher and perhaps even a miracle-worker. But can we trust him to forgive our sin and set us right with God? We see in today's passage that Jesus' identity as the Son of God uniquely qualifies him to be the Messiah, and by his forgiveness, the Father affirms that he is pleased with us.

We are often sold ideas of what the ideal life looks like--it can involve a certain kind of house or car, career or spouse or some kind of fantastic accomplishments.
