Lent 1C…….. Suffering Before Glory

Lent 1C…….. Suffering Before Glory

Luke 4:1-13

The season of Lent is not easy nor is it meant to be. It calls for discipline and devotion. And sometimes that can reveal in us a desire to take the easy way and even bypass discipline or suffering. Lent then teaches us and trains us in the way of the kingdom which is suffering before glory. It was that way with God’s Old Testament people and with Jesus as demonstrated in both his passive and active obedience. So it is for us too.
