It was through Baptism that we began to be identified as “followers of Christ.” In this Sunday’s Second Reading, the First Letter of St. Peter invites us to reflect on the biblical drama of the flood and Noah’s act of rescue in the hope that we will see the connection to baptism. In this way, we can understand the much more significant rescue act of Christ, who entered our damaged world and was tempted in the wilderness, but did not give in to the temptations of the devil. This is the same Christ who went into the desert to wrestle with the powers of evil and who then fulfilled his Father’s mission and began to heal the hurt of sin and its consequences.
