King James Version

Passage Context

⁹And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

¹⁰And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

¹¹And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹²And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

¹³And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

Devotional Reflection

LoveGratitudeHopeCompassion

Jesus was baptized, and then He went to face Satan for 40 days of hard testing. Remember the first thing Satan said? "If you are God's Son." Wasn't it great that God had already given Him peace about their relationship before it was called into question? What do the people you care about most today need to hear from you? You don't know when their time of trial will come, but you know it will, so reassure them now, before they need it!

Prayer

My loving and almighty Father, please guide me in saying the right words of love and affection to those I care about, so that they will not doubt my love for them when temptation comes. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
