Why Jesus faced temptation and what it means for us

When Jesus was led into the wilderness, He entered a direct battle between good and evil. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson begins a new series called “The Time Is Now,” exploring how Christ’s temptation in Matthew 4 shows us the depth of His humanity and the power of His victory. After forty days of fasting, Jesus faced Satan at His weakest point—and still remained sinless. Pastor John reminds us that every temptation we face, Jesus has faced and overcome. Because of His obedience, His holiness is now credited to us. If you’ve ever wondered how to endure spiritual testing or where God is in your weakness, this episode will encourage you to thank Jesus for standing firm and winning the battle on your behalf.
