The account of Jesus being led out into the wilderness to be tested by the devil is familiar and is found in all three Synoptic Gospels. Like tests in school, the question behind the challenges Jesus faces is "Have you internalized what you have been taught?" This lecture will look again at this familiar story and some of the Old Testament texts behind it as we seek to answer the question, "What had Jesus internalized that allowed him to pass the test?" and to discover what the answer might uncover in our own hearts as we seek to walk in the way of Jesus.
