Before Jesus ever performed a miracle and before he started a ministry, He was led into the wilderness. There, Jesus delivered the devil a death blow and we have the ultimate privilege of entering into the victory with Him. When we are in our wilderness temptations, Jesus will remind us how He faced the devil alone so that we will never be alone in our hour of temptation. It's important to understand that Jesus triumphed gloriously over the devil before He set out to redeem us.
