Matthew 4:1-11 | Jesus found himself in the wilderness for 40 days and nights after his baptism. In that barren wasteland, Jesus was stripped of all modern comforts and was withheld even very basic needs. But, in that space, Jesus is emptied of all else that surrounds him, leading him to find what he needs most. For us, as we journey into the wilderness this Lent, the path ahead might not sound very appealing. But as we venture into the desert, we too, just might find what our hearts, our lives, and our world needs most: the very breath of God, providing for us, and protecting us.
