“At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness, and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.” (Mark 1:12-13)
Lent is the season in the Christian year that comes just before Easter. Lent is basically a time for recentering our lives. Lent is the time in the church year where we take stock of our lives, and where we choose to live in a new way. And, just like Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, Lent is a forty-day period [excluding Sundays]. It's a time to recommit ourselves to a new way of living...or, perhaps just to an old way of living that we've forgotten about.
