So this is how to understanding temperature: Black observed that things in thermal contact eventually reach a common temperature, just a connected bodies of water will come to the same level if there is no exterior source or sink. In other words, in analyzing heat flow, we can understand temperature as a sort of potential. Just as gravitational potential difference will cause water to flow between connected lakes at different levels, temperature difference between thermally connected objects causes heat to flow.
