Deep dives
Jesus confronts the promise of evil
Jesus, as the Messiah, faces the temptation to use his power to fight against Rome and establish a physical kingdom. However, he resists this path and confronts a deeper force: spiritual evil. He believes in the existence of beings or forces of spiritual evil, different from the common perception of modern people. Instead of engaging in a war with Rome, Jesus goes to war with this spiritual evil, which he encounters in the wilderness and later in the garden of Gethsemane.
