Fighting Back
Matthew 3-4 tells us the story of Jesus getting baptized then Jesus being led by
the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. The main point of these
stories is to remind believers that we are at war. There is a real enemy; if there
is a real enemy, it helps to be mindful of the typical weapons of the enemy as
well as practical methods of fighting back against the evil in the world.
