Mark - Matthew 4

This chapter begins with the Holy Spirit leading Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan. What puzzles me is that Jesus is the embodiment of God in human form, how could God be tempted by anything. Later after the angels come to care for him he begins the journey of selecting his followers, every one of them common, regular folk. He preached and cured and the multitudes grew. The power of Christ was in full display. The Good News must have been spreading like wild fire.(v17) From then on, Jesus began to preach, "Turn from sin, and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near." Am I doing my part? I pray to keep moving in the direction Jesus has laid out for me.
