Can God Be Tempted? - 5AM Sampler Part 4

For our last 5AM Sampler episode, we chose one from the fall of 2023. Many of us are familiar with Matthew 4:1 - 11 - a tired and hungry Jesus who has just spent 40 days in the wilderness – which was more like a dessert than a forest – and He hasn’t eaten anything. And during those 40 days, He is tempted by Satan. But there’s a few questions that this passage raises. Since Jesus is fully God and since He has complete dominion over Satan, why did He allow Satan to tempt Him? Why didn’t He command Satan to stop? And maybe the bigger question, can God be tempted? Join us as we dig in!
