Beating temptation
Immediately after Jesus’ baptism, Matthew says, the Spirit leads him into the desert to be tempted. There’s no time to bask in the glory of the moment of baptism; there is work to be done.
Jesus’ time in the wilderness will prove to be not only a time of temptation but also a time of communing with the Father, a time of personal preparation. Surely during this testing time Jesus spends much time alone with God in prayer, just as he will continue to do throughout his ministry.
