I 've often wondered WHY Jesus went into the desert alone. The Scriptures state the "spirit " took Him into the desert "to be tempted " yet this is not clear to me. I am GUESSING the Holy Spirit was so strong within Jesus at that time that it would have been terrible for Him to walk among man with all the distractions associated with man. By going into the desert Jesus did not have those distractions. He also had no food drink with which to survive in human form and He had to survive in human form to die for us. Thus, by the Holy Spirit taking Jesus into the desert away from man and man 's means of surviving, Jesus was given the OPPORTUNITY to fortify His position as the "human " son of God. This was when He was so very vulnerable and, thus, satan made attempts to corrupt Him. I am so grateful Jesus was as strong as He was and as dedicated to man as He was so as to survive despite there being no "human " means of doing so. This is the type of dedication strength we all need to win against the evil in this world.
