Getting To Know Jesus: Temptation in the Wilderness

Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness — Ivan Kramskoi’s 1872 painting Christ in the Wilderness, dawn desert scene.

In the wilderness, Satan tempted Christ with bread, power, and shortcuts to glory. Jesus resisted every scheme with the Word of God. His victory not only prepared Him for His mission but also shows us how to face temptation today—with Scripture, trust, and worship of God alone.
