AFTER BAPTISM BY JOHN
After Jesus was baptized, He had to decide the direction He would take in His ministry. Jesus seems to go to the desert to be alone with God. The place where Jesus was alone with God for more than a month is believed to be in the mountains near Jericho. This place is bleak and rocky. Jesus was in the desert for forty days.Satan tried to get Him to be the wrong kind of Saviour. Although Satan tempted Him with pride, power, and popularity, this was equally Satan testing Jesus as to what kind of Saviour and Royal Son He was going to be. Jesus stood strong in the Word of God and did not give in to temptation.
