This week we have followed the Olympic games, met some of the contenders and learned of the challenges they faced, and the courage it took to get to the Olympics. In our Gospel text we hear Mark’s version of Jesus’ baptism, temptation and proclamation of the reign of God. Hear about the challenges Jesus faced and the courage that filled him as he began his ministry. Learn of the courage that comes from your identity as a beloved child of God. Hear of the promise of life Jesus offers even when it feels as though life is a wilderness journey.
