Luke 4:1-2 (ESV)
1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry.
Jesus is the first son of man who is filled with the Holy Spirit. The earth is no longer bound by the emptiness of being empty and formless. We who follow Him are led by the Spirit in a wilderness revealed by the light of the life of God to the eyes of our hearts.
We are no longer chained by sin. Now sin becomes a choice. Now freed from the absolute power of sin, temptation becomes the tool of the devil to bring us back into the kingdom of the world. Temptation is in the world of the believer because he now can choose to obey God. It is in the garden of His presence that we learn obedience to God, which leads to the blessings of heaven.
