Spirit was tempted. If He was tempted, He also certainly was
guiding the people of the Jews into the land of promise, as it is
written: “For He led them through the deep, as a horse
through the wilderness, and they laboured not, and like the cattle
through the plain. The Spirit came down from the Lord and guided
them.” Isa. lxiii. 13, 14. And He
certainly ministered to them the calm rain of heavenly food, He with
fertile shower made fruitful that daily harvest which earth had not
brought forth, and husbandman had not sown.
