In the 2013 film All
Is Lost, starring Robert Redford, the main character enters an atypical desert -- the chaos of the open ocean -- and must struggle to survive against all odds. John Bonazzo, of Busted Halo, has likened
this unnamed character's saga to that of Jesus in the desert: constantly tested, he is tempted to give up
many times, yet he endures to the final shot, which is perhaps symbolic of our
redemption.
What chaos might you be struggling with as you progress through Lent? Are you tempted to give up the
fight? Or will you hold out for the
ultimate redemption: the Cross of Good
Friday, and the Resurrection of Easter?
