Luke 4:1-13 The Trial in the Wilderness (Wednesday 2-5-25)
In Luke's Gospel, Jesus goes into the wilderness to face Satan. The 40 days in the wilderness are a trial for Jesus. The Father has just proclaimed in Jesus's baptism that He is His Son. Now Satan is testing Christ to see if He will remain on His Father's mission. In this story, we see echoes of the temptation of Adam and Eve and the trial of Israel in the wilderness.
