Tuesday 2/20 Surviving the Desert pt2

What is the significance of Jesus being led into the wilderness by the spirit? And this was right after his baptism and right before his ministry? Is the timing important? Discuss.

In the desert experience, Jesus is strengthened by both spirit and truth. How are these components critical for him? How are they critical for you in your struggles?

Why did Jesus go through this experience? What were the devil’s tactics and schemes toward him? Read 1 Corinthians 10:13. What are some surprising ways God has helped you escape temptation?

How does knowing what Jesus went through help you when you are going through your struggles with temptation, loneliness, or pain?

What is the difference between God’s word and man’s word? Why are we so tempted to rely upon the words of men—especially our own—as opposed to God’s?

What are some key takeaways from Jesus’s experience that can help us in our struggles?
