29th March 2023 - Temptation

Right at the start of His ministry, Jesus had an encounter with the devil – the adversary. This was a real encounter with a living, spiritual being, who tried to destroy Jesus’ ministry before it had even begun. He had tried, through Herod’s murderous acts (Matt. 2:16), to rid the world of Jesus when he was born, but now, he changed tack and tried to stop the work of God through temptation.
