Imagine you are Gospel writer with the task of convincing people that Jesus is not just another claiming to be Messiah; he really is! Thankfully God has given you a lot to work with. He has shown how his birth and childhood fulfill prophecy. And at his baptism we hear the voice of God authenticating Jesus and we see the Holy Spirit empowering him. But now Jesus goes into the wilderness to be tempted. How does this fit into your presentation of Messiah?
Scripture: Luke 4:1-13
