Explain How Jesus Led Into The Wilderness In John 16: 33

Improved Essays
The bible says that Jesus was led into the wilderness by the spirit (Matthew 4:1). This scripture states that Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tempted. One of the things Jesus was tempted with during his time in the wilderness was to throw himself down from a pinnacle (Luke 4:9). Satan was tempting Jesus to jump and let the angels save him. The struggles that we deal with from day to day may seem like it they are never going to change and the only way out is for us to end our life.
In John 16:33, Jesus says, “there will be tribulation, but we should be of good cheer.” Remember Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tempted. The temptations that he experienced during his wilderness experience allowed him to know and feel every

    One cannot help but love the uniqueness of this gospel. It gives an intriguing, symbolic message to present the story of Jesus. We also encounter Jesus in a way we had never seen prior. He tends to speak in full discourses to address situations rather than speaking in parables as seen in the Synoptic gospels (LTJ, pg. 469). John’s gospel also presents us with information that is not recorded in any other gospel.…

    Dr. Jekyll laments that this “doom and burthen of our life is bound forever on man 's shoulders” (78). That is not the case. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (KJV). Without God 's forgiveness and salvation for people 's sin against Himself, the result of one 's sin would be death and eternal separation from Him. This doom can be cast off fully and eternally by repenting of one 's sin and relying on God for salvation from unrighteousness and its consequences.…

    God is all knowing. His divine intellect, or omniscience, is undeniable when examining scripture. There is an overflow of scripture to back up the claim that there is nothing and no one more intelligent, more knowledgable or wise than God. We get understanding of God's omniscience from the writings of David.…

    Zombies, nuclear explosions, black holes. There are many theories on how the world will end. As Christians, we have the opportunity to look at prophecy in the Bible to have an idea of what the end will be like. However, the Bible can be confusing or unclear, allowing for multiple interpretations. Considering the end of time, we will look at four different views on what the millennium is and where it is placed on the timeline.…

    To quote my grandmother, “the easy road is not always the right one.” No matter how easy it may be to push my beliefs to the side and just accept whatever job may come my way, the journey back from compromise is far harder than anyone would like to imagine. In her article “Your Calling,” Andree Seu commented “You had better think twice about saying to yourself: “I need to suck it up in order to be light and salt in this (town). What kind of light and salt can you be now? You have just taught them that you are willing to compromise your convictions.”…

    As I meditate on 1 John 3:16-18 the central principle I feel shown is that sacrificial love is a love of action. The author is John, son of Zebedee who is one of the original twelve apostles. He wrote this letter to believers who struggled with false teachers trying to teach them in ways that were not what Jesus taught His followers. John needed to remind them that love, as shown to us by Christ, should spur the believer into action. Jesus so loved all that He became the final sacrifice for sin.…

    I really like the image called "Those Who Love Me Will Keep My Word". In this image it shows two people who are obviously starving and the one on top is holding the other and feeding him something from a bowl. I interpret the image as Jesus (on top) giving his strength and hope to someone else (on the bottom). I chose this representation of Jesus because Jesus is the definition of strength and grace, he will help anyone before himself. When Jesus was on earth he helped anyone who needed it; the blind, poor, and those who were weak.…

    Likewise, Jesus Christ come to earth to take our place of the cross. Because we were disconnected from God, Jesus Christ sacrificed himself to reconnect us to the father. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost” (1 Timothy 1:15 English Standard Version). In addition, this was all planned by God for Jesus to deliver salvation to the earth. God didn’t kill us for all the sinful acts that we committed but he justified us.…

    (24): Based on Bruce’s commentary he explains, “This section of the Sermon inculcates a freedom from anxiety, rising from implicit confidence in a heavenly Father’s love and care… ’mammon is an Aramaic word, etymologically denoting in which men put their trust, but in practice standing for material gain, which can so easily take the central place in life that is due to God alone” God doesn’t want us to have two different masters or idols because they will rule us, we will not know which to turn to when the time comes. God should be our only master because he is the one who sustains us through eternity, he is the all-knowing, all-powerful God who know you inside and out completely. We must devote our lives to Him completely. As Morris states,…
