Who led Jesus into the wilderness?
This word drove out in Greek is ekballo, and it means to violently be ejected, to
be expelled out, to be cast out or to be sent out.
Why is the Spirit doing this to Jesus?
to Present Jesus, by way of testing, as the New Israel- Servant-Son of God.
“He was Hungry”
2. The Three Temptations (4:3-10)
“and when the tempter came.”
Temptation can develop character or reveal character

3-4
the devil is tempting Jesus to do is to change His understanding of Sonship.
b.
Round 2: Temptation at the temple vv.
5-7
Three things:
1. the devil is misapplying the Scripture; therefore, he was using it wrongly.
2. In using it wrongly the true meaning is obscured and even contradicted
3. Which stems from a wrong and twisted interpretation.
Here, again Jesus is tempted to test His Sonship to see if God would really protect Him.
c. Round 3: Temptation to commit idolatry
These temptations of Jesus are done from the least to the greatest desires
The devil is trying to change Jesus understanding of Sonship, by by-pass His sufferings and go straight to glory.
