Luke 4:13-15
13 Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time. 14 Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region. 15 And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
Jesus was tempted and stood to God's words till Satan left "until an opportune time." The attacks came at the cross, but until then God's Son moved by God's Spirit taught and offered the good news of repentance and faith leading to grace and forgiveness in mercy. So Jesus was glorified and the hope proven when risen from the grave. Even now Satan tempts us, attacking at opportune times as a roaring lion on the prowl - but He in us is greater.
