One day, before Jesus started His ministry, the Holy Spirit led Him into the quiet wilderness — a place with sand, rocks, hills, and long days of sunshine.

​

Jesus went there to fast for forty days.
No bread. No fish. No sweet honey.
Just quiet times with His Father.

​

During those days, Jesus prayed, listened, and grew strong inside His heart.
His body felt hungry, but His spirit felt full.

​

But someone else came to the wilderness…
the devil, who wanted to trick Jesus.

​

He whispered,
“If You’re really God’s Son, turn these stones into bread.”

​

Jesus was hungry — very hungry — but He answered with Scripture:
“People don’t live only on bread.
We live by every word God speaks.”

​

Then the devil took Jesus to the top of the temple and said,
“Jump down! God will send angels to catch You.”

​

But Jesus knew something important. We don’t test God or try to prove Him.

​

Jesus answered again with Scripture:
“Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”

​

The devil tried again, showing Him a high mountain and all the kingdoms of the world.

​

But Jesus stood firm and said what’s in The Scripture
“Worship the Lord your God and serve only Him.”

​

Jesus didn’t give in.
He didn’t choose the easy way.
He chose God’s way.

​​

After the devil left, angels came and cared for Jesus.

​​

Fasting didn’t make Jesus weaker — it made Him stronger inside, ready for everything God had planned.​​
