If

Wow!  Did Jesus have a trial after His baptism!  As He was then "full of the Holy Spirit" (Luke 4:1-15) , he began a 40 plus day fast while wandering in the desert and being tempted by the devil, himself.  And two of those three big temptations began with: "If You are the Son of God ..."

Have you wondered about that?  How did Jesus really know as He was growing up that He was that One person, totally different from the rest of humanity? One way could have been all the prophecies about the Messiah that were being fulfilled in His life. Or just choosing to believe His parents. And He did just have that confirming voice from His Father as He was being baptized. But the big factor was probably the solid relationship that He had developed with the Father.

Sounds like some of our story too. Oh, the value of that solid relationship - listening to and communicating with our Heavenly Father. Then when the enemy taunts: "If you are a child of God ..." , it doesn't unsettle us. We know we are that child because we have heard from our Father. We can come away from those taunts and trials "in the power of the Holy Spirit" like our Big Brother did.
