Temptations Of Jesus In Marks Gospel A Print On Demand Title

$27.99

The first Christians remembered Jesus as one who had faced and endured temptation, and could therefore identify with their own trials and temptations. Far from signifying sin or failure, life’s inevitable trials are in many ancient writings viewed as opportunities for people to prove the genuineness of their faith and obedience to God. This engaging study by Susan Garrett examines the considerable attention Mark’s Gospel gives to Jesus’ confrontation with temptation, not only during his time in the wilderness but throughout the whole course of his earthly life and ministry.

Built on solid biblical exegesis and practical exposition, this study provides both a deeper understanding of the meaning of Jesus’ earthly ministry and needed encouragement for staying faithful as we walk “the way of the Lord” today. By employing “testing” as an interpreting model, Garrett clearly shows that Mark’s Jesus was “tried and true,” the “proven” son of God whose perfect obedience in time of trial made him an acceptable sacrifice before God, and who now can give guidance and fortitude to those who wish to follow.
