Jesus, tempted? Are you kidding me? Then the ministry begins as he gathers this sort of wild and motley crew of followers who seem to be somewhat confused and completely inexperienced.
We begin the season in the desert wilderness where Jesus, the fully human one, the one who we so try to emulate in every way is tempted. Life is full of ambiguities faith is full of ambiguities and this season of Lent is fraught with ambiguity. The first couple ate from the forbidden tree (which, most artistic renditions notwithstanding, was not depicted as an apple tree) and the ambiguous journey began. And the Lord God commanded the man, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.”
The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.
