9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

1.  What is God telling you about himself with the connection between Jesus, the Spirit, and the voice from heaven? 

 

2.  What does God want you to think about Jesus with his declaration from heaven? 

 

3. What are the implications for you if you accepted that declaration as true? 

 

12 The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.

4.  The Bible describes Jesus as, “one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). What do you think it means that Jesus was led by the Spirit to begin his ministry with this season of temptation without ever giving in to sin?
