And so, the journey begins

I Peter 3:18
For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God.

The end of Jesus' ministry for us involves his suffering on a cross. The beginning of Jesus' ministry for us involves 40 days in the wilderness. What is it about suffering that is so seemingly a good thing in the Biblical narrative? Have you ever intentionally sought hardship for a greater good? How do you plan to experience this year's Lenten season?

I'm off to Lake Guntersville for a 2 day prayer journey with Melinda and the Sages.
