Mark provides us a unique lens through which to see the mission and trials of Jesus: one of war. For He has come not only to teach us a new way to live, but to wholly and decisively destroy the works of the Evil One. In preparation for this, Jesus is tested in the wilderness by the devil, an endeavor not too dissimilar from the tests that other biblical heroes undergo. Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, even the nation of Israel itself, all find themselves tested in the wilderness. As we willingly subject ourselves to the disciplines of Lent in this difficult season of many kinds of battles, we pray to our Father that He will not lead us into unbearably hard-testing, but that He would deliver us from the Evil One.
