Mark 1:13 (Common English Bible)
(Jesus) was in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan. He was among the wild animals, and the angels took care of him.
Summary:
The biblical story of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness is our story. We love Jesus because he has been where we are and is with us in the midst of our wilderness experiences. This scripture reminds us that only recalling the difficulty of the wilderness is an incomplete story. Jesus was among the wild animals and the angels took care of him. We are in the wilderness and God’s angels are with us, too! In the conjunction, there is salvation!
