Jesus is tempted
"Immediately" connects the temptation closely with the baptism. The same Spirit that came on Jesus at His baptism now "impelled" or drove (Gr.ekballo) Him into the wilderness for testing.
Jesus had submitted humbly to identification with humankind. Now he experienced the consequences
of that identification, temptation.
Temptation is not an indication that one is out of God's will. It sometimes results from following the Spirit's leading.
