First Sunday of Lent

Text: Deuteronomy 26:1-11

We all have been or will go through the wilderness. Life itself is in a way a wilderness. We don't know what is ahead and we need to be led by someone. While there are guides to the wilderness, it is better to have a guide. Jesus is the best guide. Though from heaven, he entered the wilderness and overcame sin and death for us so that we can live. The only way to eternal life is through the cross, the ultimate wilderness, where Jesus laid down his life for us.
