The Wilderness

The Spirit of God chose the barren wilderness as the place where this battle would take place.

The cold nights and the heat of the day, with no friends except scorpions and snakes, and the wild beasts, this was the chosen place for the "temptations" of Jesus. Jesus was brought to the ultimate testing of his character, the ultimate testing of his identity, and the ultimate testing of his faithfulness to His Father.
