First Sunday of Lent Year B. Reflection on Mark 1:12-15. Lent offers opportunities to come close to God. Satan Tempts, God Tests. Know the Difference. Jesus tempted by Satan. Why not tested? We notice soon after baptism, Jesus was led into the wilderness for forty days tempted by Satan. Don’t confuse with the two words, tempt and test. 1st Sunday of Lent (Mark 1:12-15)

What do the words mean? To tempt is to entice a person to do wrong while to test is to give a person a chance to choose what is right. To tempt is to hope you fail while to test is to hope for your success. In Hebrew, Satan means adversary or enemy.
