The Exhausting Fear of Being Found Out
Michael Kelley:
It’s paralyzing, this fear of being found out. Of being discovered to be somehow “less” than the perception that others have of you. It’s the feeling of wondering whether or not the next action, the next tweet, the next post, the next statement, is going to be funny enough, smart enough, penetrating enough, clever enough to buy us just a little more time. And if we’re not careful, we can find ourselves devoting endless energy to making that carefully crafted persona continues to withstand any scrutiny that comes its way. We can drift into lies, disingenuous actions, and running in fear, all because of what might happen if we are actually found out.

We cannot changed this and say that Jesus was tested in the wilderness but not tempted. To do so would do a great injustice to the argument in Hebrews 4:15. No Jesus was tempted much in the same way that we are tempted.
So does this mean that Jesus had an evil desire which drew him into temptation in the wilderness?
No. It doesn’t and here is why…
