"At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness," The very next thing Jesus encounters following the amazing event of his baptism... is the wilderness. He comes up, soaking wet, the waters of the Jordan river dripping off him. The Spirit descends on him like a dove and he hears the words of God: "You are my Son whom I love, with you I am well pleased." And then that same Spirit sends him into the wilds of the Judean country-side to be tempted by Satan. This Sunday we ask the question: "What's up with that?"
