When he failed to lure Christ away from obeying the Father, the devil changed tactics. Alistair Begg explains the relentless nature of temptation by describing the devil’s next approach: trying to make Jesus question the Father’s faithfulness. Satan reasoned that God would not let something bad happen to His Son; however, he did not understand that God sometimes rescues through suffering. Christ’s victory over this temptation and His willingness to suffer became our ultimate victory over sin.
