RCL Texts:Genesis 2:15–17; 3:1–7; Psalm 32; Romans 5:12–19; Matthew 4:1–11(Narrative Lectionary text and comments follow below)Theme: From Hiding to TrustCore ClaimLent begins with hard truth about sin, but moves quickly to mercy: in Christ, we are called out of hiding and formed into a life of trust.1) Scripture SummariesGenesis 2:15–17; 3:1–7Humanity is placed in the garden with freedom and responsibility, but the serpent reframes God’s command and plants distrust.
