From the desert to Jerusalem

Yet, it is in the desert that the season of Lent begins. There we find Jesus, fasting forty days, and undergoing temptation by the devil.
God used the desert to prepare Jesus for his mission. What is otherwise a place of desolation and despair became the necessary starting point...
