Episode 1: Into Temptation
This unique and dramatic episode recounts one of the rare events in Jesus’ life recorded in Scripture
that does not have any witnesses.
While enjoying a peaceful night in the desert, Jesus tells his disciples about His time of testing in the wilderness. Get a glimpse of what those 40 days were like as Jesus wandered the Israeli wilderness, alone with only the wind, wild animals, and the words of God — until Lucifer shows up and tempts the weakened Son of God to abandon His Father’s plan and worship him.
