TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “…and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.” (Mark 1:13b KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: Jesus was not only tempted by the devil for forty days in the wilderness, but also attended to by the angels of Heaven, as well as harassed by the hordes of Hell, who are often depicted in Scripture as “wild beasts.”

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: It is certainly understandable why angles needed to minister to Jesus after His temptation in the wilderness, for it was a spiritual war the likes of which our fallen world has seldom seen. It could not have been of more eternal consequence; after all, the salvation of the world hung upon the outcome of this contest between Heaven and Hell. If Christ had tripped over one single temptation and committed the teeniest-tiniest little sin, He could not have died on the cross of Calvary as the Savior of the world, but would have died on the cross for His own sin rather than for our sins.
