The epistle for Lent 1 in Year A is Romans 5.12–19. Paul draws a series of striking contrasts between what it means to be 'in Adam', as fallen humanity under the power of Sin and Death, and what it means to be 'in Christ', given the gift of life and under the power of Grace.

How does Paul make these contrasts, and how should we interpret them? And what does this mean practically and pastorally as we think about our discipleship?

The gospel reading is Matthew 4.1–11, Jesus' temptations in the wilderness. For the written commentary, see here: https://www.psephizo.com/biblical-studies/the-testing-of-jesus-according-to-matthew-4/
