To consider the temptation of Christ Jesus is to come to deep waters, requiring precise thought and profound feeling. What did it mean for the God-man to be assaulted in this way? What were the nature of the temptations which he faced? What does it show us about his humanity and divinity? How much does it relate to our own experience, and his sympathy with us. Drawing particularly on Thomas Manton’s treatment of the topic, Donald John Maclean helps us to understand something of our Lord’s experience and what it means for us.
