Lent marks Christ's 40 days in the Judaean Desert, where he's confronted by Satan.
Their clash is an epic philosophical showdown, and a masterclass in beating temptation.
After 40 days in the wilderness without food, Satan confronts Jesus and tempts him to transform stones into bread. The story is brief in the Gospels, but Milton's "Paradise Regained" expands it...
A conversation takes place in which Christ dismantles each of Satan's temptations through moral reasoning, and Milton's insight lies therein: temptation itself is not sin, but the opportunity for virtue.
In Milton's prequel, Paradise Lost, Satan corrupts Adam and Eve by appealing to Man's original sin: pride. Repeating this, thinks Satan, will be straightforward, for Jesus is merely human...
Christ responds first with the virtue of temperance, resisting bodily desires for the sake of higher principles:
"Man lives not by bread only, but each word
Proceeding from the mouth of God"
When it's clear that Jesus won't respond to bodily needs, Satan changes tactic, offering him worldly fame. How can the prophesied King go without fame and acclaim to rule his people by?
Christ's response is simple: become king of your own spirit and no external validation will tempt you:
"Yet he who reigns within himself, and rules
Passions, desires, and fears, is more a king."
Satan then offers Christ dominion over all the kingdoms of Earth, urging him to take action as did the great rulers of history. If Christ is meant to rule, then surely it is through action, not prophecy. Christ responds with pride's ultimate counter, humility:
"For what is glory but a blaze of fame"
His kingdom will not come about by assertion of will, but by waiting patiently on a higher plan.
Boiling with frustration, Satan brings Christ to the pinnacle of the temple in Jerusalem. Demanding to know what's special about him, he insists that he "Cast thyself down," and force angelic intervention to save him (as is written in Psalms). Christ's response:
"Also it is written, 'Tempt not the Lord thy God.'"
Notice, in all this, that Satan never calls Jesus to any obvious evils. He's called to use his intellect for worldly fame, or take dominion of Earth so he might rule it justly. Fundamental "goods," but twisted into prideful actions.
That's the main lesson on the subtlety of temptation. The most dangerous vices aren't invitations to outright evil, but little corruptions here and there that chip away at our higher calling.
Milton's showdown was intended to reveal that Christ was both fully God and fully man. He really did feel genuine human temptation, hunger, ambition, and the desire for recognition. He overcame them all without miracles, using only reason, faith, and virtue.
In other words, the victory in the desert was the perfection of human virtues that we can all put into practice.
Eve lost in paradise; Christ won in the wilderness. It's not the place or struggle that matters, but each and every choice we make.
