Scripture tells us here that God led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan. We generally think of God as protecting us from evil and leading us into life everlasting. What do you think of this verse and do you think it ever applies to us?
I touched on this in a sermon last year. It's entitled "Surviving the Desert" from 8-2-09 and you can find it at the link below.
