The Wilderness E9 — After Jesus’ baptism, the Holy Spirit leads him into the wilderness to be tested for 40 days. The exodus generation spent 40 years in the wilderness, so we’d be right to expect parallels with their experience. But why does Jesus need to go through this wilderness test? And what does it mean for his followers? In this episode, Jon and Tim look at Jesus’ three wilderness tests, discovering the long-awaited faithful human who is ready to enter the garden land.CHAPTERSRecap of Theme and Setup for Jesus in the Wilderness (0:00-16:59)Final Thoughts on Baptism and Intro to Wilderness Tests (16:59-39:29)Jesus’ Wilderness Tests (39:29-1:01:46)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode’s official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESJesus on the Mountain: A Study in Matthean Theology by Terence DonaldsonThe Gospel according to Matthew: A Commentary by Matthias KonradtYou can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim’s extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Heaven Is Home” by Lofi Sunday, Zairis TéJion“Fellowship” by Lofi Sunday, Cassidy GodwinBibleProject theme song by TENTSSHOW CREDITSProduction of today’s episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.
