He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan

Mark 1:9-15

At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”

Why?

Jesus was born as a human so he accepted baptized by John in the Jordan. So the same everyone who trusts in Jesus should follow Jesus to be baptized.

Even Jesus was sent into the wilderness and tempted by Satan, so we should correctly look at our trouble and distress, all of these are allowed by the Lord, to let our spiritual life may grow up.

Jesus proclaim the gospel after John Baptist was put in prison, for they are not a competition but the mission from the Lord in different steps.

How?

Positive face any difficulty in our daily life, but enjoy the peace from Jesus in our hearts.
