April 2014 NEED TO KNOW I STORIES I AREA UPDATES I EVENTS NEAR YOU Archdeacon’s View By Robin King, Archdeacon of Centenary Stansted A FEW years ago Katharine, my wife, and challenges I found ourselves venturing into the Sahara desert (it’s a for schools www.chelmsford.anglican.org long story). It is a truly beautiful place, and we were just tourists, but imagine what we would have done if, during our brief exploration, we’d come across someone staggering over the dunes, sun-burnt and blistered, starving and badly dehydrated. Any one of us, finding ourselves in that situation, would have rushed up and offered food, water, shade and a soothing lotion for his wounds – we would have done everything in our power to ease any suffering.

Two thousand years ago, in a different desert, the sun-burnt and blistered man might have been Jesus – who wasn’t staggering around there because he was lost, but because, “the Spirit sent him out into the desert.” Education special (Mark 1:12-13) to mark 100th Jesus went into the wilderness in order to prepare himself for the incredible anniversary of ministry he was about to undertake.
