In this message in the Red Letter Series Pastor Jason looks at Jesus’ words to the enemy in the wilderness, “It Is Written Part 1”. We see that Jesus was led by The Spirit to the wilderness, it’s a place of testing. The enemy was waiting to tempt Jesus, testing and tempting are not the same . God does not tempt, but He does test.
Here’s the difference, the enemy tempts to get us to fall. God tests us, it’s in order for you to receive the gifts and the promises that He has for us. Jesus went to the wilderness to prove Who He is, what was in His heart, and that He will do what He said He would do. Because of Him, we too can resist temptation.
