After Jesus was baptized, the Bible tells us that he spent forty days in the wilderness. He was alone, hungry, and tired. During that time, the devil tried to tempt Jesus to make the wrong choices. But each time, Jesus answered by remembering what God’s Word teaches. Even when things were difficult, Jesus trusted God and stayed faithful.

What makes this story special is that it reminds us that Jesus truly understands what it is like to be human. Just like us, he faced moments when it would have been easier to take the wrong path. Instead of giving in, Jesus remembered the truth of Scripture and used it to guide his decisions.

We face choices every day, too. Sometimes it can be hard to know what the right thing is. But when we learn about God’s Word and keep it in our hearts, it helps guide us. Just as Jesus trusted God in the wilderness, we can trust that God will help us make good choices and stay strong in our faith.

What We Learned

• Even Jesus faced temptation, but he trusted God and stayed faithful.
