Today's Gospel of the temptations of Jesus is important in a couple ways. First, there is the theological import. Clearly, the symbolism of today's story brings us back to the original temptation in the garden and shows how Jesus is ordering the disorder caused by the first Adam's disobedience. But there is also a practical application for us as well. Seeing Jesus tempted gives us courage in the face of our own temptations, for he is victorious over the suggestions of Satan. As Augustine says, "If we are tempted in Christ, then in Christ we can resist the temptations.
