    Jan 23, 2024 · The idea that Jesus was intentionally directed by the Spirit of God into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil is a theologically challenging concept. Yet that is precisely what the Gospels indicate: “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil” (Matthew 4:1; cp. Mark 1:12–13; Luke 4:1–2).

    The desert, which is often referred to as the wilderness in the Bible, is a place of testing and preparation. Many people experienced desert time before being used by God.
