"Paradise Regained" by John Milton is a 17th-century poem that explores the trials Jesus faced in the wilderness. Continuing from "Paradise Lost," this story emphasizes the struggle between good and evil as Satan tempts Jesus. The poem follows Jesus' journey into the wilderness after his baptism, where he is confronted by Satan and his temptations. Through a series of dialogues, Jesus uses faith and wisdom to overcome each challenge, proving that true power comes from spiritual strength, not worldly possessions. Ultimately, He defeats Satan, reaffirming humanity's hope for salvation and showing the victory of good over the evil, securing redemption for mankind.
