Finding Life in Lent

John explores Luke’s version of the testing story – not as temptations but a test of how Jesus will live out being the “Beloved Son” . And we do that by looking at how that flows into the sermon on the plain. They work together to show how Jesus will not live being the "beloved Son", and how we will live that out. In all this Jesus in Luke is the fulfilment of Isaiah’s prophesy/dream of the restoration of life-giving community for all, for all life. In light of all that John wonders what gives us life this Easter, and how can we open ourselves to that more. The notes for this sermon can be found here.
