What Was Jesus REALLY Tempted With In The Wilderness? Responding to Rhett McLaughlin

What Was Jesus REALLY Tempted With In The Wilderness? Responding to Rhett McLaughlin

Did Jesus reject political power as inherently satanic? In this episode, Cory Wing, Tim Bushong, Matt Plett, and Mike D’Virgilio respond to comments from Rhett McLaughlin suggesting that Christians seeking political influence are embracing the temptation Satan offered Christ.

Is that what the temptation narrative actually teaches? The hosts carefully examine the biblical text, its historical context, and the theological implications of Christ’s rejection of Satan’s offer. They argue that this popular interpretation misunderstands both the nature of Christ’s kingship and the legitimate role of political authority under God. From a robust, postmillennial perspective, they present:

- Why Christ rejected Satan’s offer — and what that rejection really means
- The difference between unlawful power and lawful authority
- Why pietist and anabaptist instincts often distort this passage
- The necessity of political power rightly ordered under Christ
- A positive, hopeful vision for Christianity in public life

This isn’t about partisan politics. It’s about whether Jesus is Lord over all of life — including civil authority.
