A question worth sitting with

Why did Jesus go to the desert for 40 days — and how could He be tempted?

If Jesus is God, how is temptation even possible? And why 40 days in a wilderness with nothing but hunger and a voice?

The number 40 echoes through the whole Bible — Noah, Moses, Israel in the wilderness. Something about that span of time keeps showing up at the edge of transformation.
