October 9, 2022 - Everyday Theology

Bobby Van Otterloo

In Mark 1:9-13 we see the story of the baptism and temptation of Jesus. In these two stories, we see Jesus fully identifying with fallen humanity, but we also see our Savior powerfully overcome temptation. In these verses, we see a Savior who empathizes with us as we face a fallen broken world and face temptation and we see a Savior who gives us the power to overcome.
