 Why was Christ led by the spirit to be temped?

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the Devil. Matthew 4:1

 

Y

ou will have to undergo some trials of faith in other go grow spiritually. These trials of faith comprise the phases of a spiritual growth in Christ. One crucial factor to grow spiritually is one’s strong faith in the lord of which will make one’s foundation to be firm in Him. This faith comes in when you look up to Jesus as the only one that can make you overcome some certain trials in other to grow spiritually.

Jesus was led by the Holy-Spirit into the wilderness. Though He is the messiah, He however needed to fulfil all righteousness and was tempted of the Devil. This temptation is akin to His examination if He will be worthy to save the world. If he had fallen to the temptations of the Devil, His mission will not be accomplished. All glory to God He overcame the Devil.

You might have wondered why the Spirit of God triggered Him to be tempted of the Devil since it was written in the scripture; “lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil….”  Why was Christ led to be tempted of the Devil? The answer can be found in Hebrews 2:18 which says:

“For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted”

He needed to suffer temptation and overcome it so that He will know how to succour you and I when We are in trials and temptations.

When you are in a problem, never you think Christ is unaware. He is fully aware of your plight. He had also been in your shoes so He knows how to comfort you and teach you how to overcome your problems.

Dear reader, I believe you have been blessed this morning. Focus on Jesus when you are in trials, He was once in a trial and was tempted, He overcame them all. He can as well teach you how to overcome your trials and help to overcome temptations.

Prayer: Lord Jesus thank you for your word this morning, Jesus come and teach me how to overcome every trials and temptations in my life. Give me the grace to be victorious in Jesus name.
