Why does Lent begin with Jesus being tempted in the wilderness?

On the First Sunday of Lent, the Church places before us the temptation of Jesus—not as a moral lesson alone, but as a decisive moment in salvation history.

In this video, we explore:
• Adam’s failure in Eden and its consequences for humanity (Genesis 2–3)
• St Paul’s teaching on Adam and Christ as representative heads (Romans 5)
• Why Jesus enters the wilderness after his baptism (Matthew 4)
• How Christ succeeds where Adam and Israel failed
• Why Lent begins not with our struggle, but with Christ’s victory

This reflection offers a biblical, typological, and Catholic understanding of temptation, obedience, and true sonship, helping us live Lent as participation in Christ’s triumph.
