Just Across the Jordan

The Gospel of Mark begins in the same place as the book of Deuteronomy: in the wilderness on the bank of the Jordan River. In both cases, God is at work—the people of Israel have been in the wilderness, and God is bringing them home. The last year has been a long, hard wilderness for us, but God is bringing us into the Promised Land. Lent is a moment for us to repent, to rededicate ourselves to God, and to look and listen for the promises of God’s kingdom. Where are you finding God at work?
