Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Matthew 4:1 If you’ve ever gone camping or hiking in some remote wilderness, you will understand that there are unseen dangers in the wilderness. Depending on where you go, you could encounter grizzlies, snakes, lions, or a bad fall with no help nearby. The world as we know it today is an explorer’s paradise, with many tempting scenes just waiting for the lone adventurer.
