Dying to live

Morning: Psalm 45; Genesis 37:12-24; I Corinthians 1:20-31
Evening: Psalm 47, 48; Mark 1:14-28

 John baptized Jesus, then the Spirit drove him into the wilderness. During those 40 days, something shifted in Jesus. He came back and sprang into action, taking up his life’s mission - sharing good news, calling disciples, healing. Life may sometimes lead into a ‘wilderness’ time that (like baptism) invites us to die to what makes us inauthentic or keeps us from being ourselves. Jesus, emerging from the wilderness, asks: What inner burdens or barriers (guilt, shame, fear or unworthiness) prevent you from stepping fully into what you came here for? Let them go and live.
