I must confess, it is difficult for me to understand why it was necessary. It leads me to wonder what's in store for me if that's what the Son of God had to go through, all the while perfect in God's sight. In this painting I wanted the isolation of that time to come through to the viewer. It begs the question, "Did Jesus get weary? Was the temptation hard for Him? Could it be that He felt the pain of loneliness? Please take this in the right way. I sure hope He did, because if He didn't, He would have no understanding or sympathy for me when I feel like it's all too much to bear. Here's where He earned the Scripture that says, "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15) Christ follower, you and I need to grab hold of that last sentence. "...yet without sin." He did it, and proved we can too, since the same Holy Spirit who empowered Him lives in us. Maybe you are having as hard a time as I when tempted, but let's together agree that we will not lose heart. Let's look at Him on that mountain knowing that as nasty as the temptation was, it was just the very start of what He would suffer. Evil is in the formation of the clouds, the rocks forming a cross on the ground signal what lay ahead for Him. Even still, He conquered.
