Jesus’ first thirty years or so were spent as a carpenter and masonry worker. Then, after being baptized by his hairy cousin John, Jesus walked out into the wilderness without food or shelter. He stayed for a few weeks in that remote, barren wilderness. The ruling spiritual powers tempted him with the gift of enduring, unimaginable political power…
But Jesus, tired and hungry and alone, did not relent. He had something very different in mind. Having resisted the temptation, having resolved his purpose with clarity…Jesus walked back into town and changed the world forever.
