Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting for forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. (Matthew 4:1-2, NIV)
This Sunday is the first in Lent, and we begin a series that will take us from death to life through Jesus. As the forty days of Lent begin, we start with Jesus fasting for forty days in the wilderness. There, we’ll see how he succeeds in following God where Adam failed, where the nation of Israel failed — and where we fail too. That’s great news for us, because Jesus is the faithful Son who stood firm for us.
