What this episode covers
At Jesus' baptism, the Spirit had descended and the Father proclaimed from heaven; "You are my Son .... With you I am well pleased." Jesus was thus armed with this affirmation from the Father as satan attacked His sense of identity in the wilderness--and that made all the difference in the world! As satan questioned His identity (“If you are the Son of God…."), Jesus was unmoved because He knew who He was! Is this one of the primary reasons we have such difficulty dealing with satan and sin in our lives? How would the affirmation ofGod's Spirit. in our hearts that we are His beloved sons and daughters affect our warfare with satan? Would the fact that our identity is secure before God. Our Father have any effect in our resistance against satan and his assault upon us?Would it be even profound and earth-shaking to us? Scripture references; I John 2:16.Matthew 4:1-I1.
