From Disobedience to Obedience

One choice broke humanity.
One obedience saved humanity.

Lent begins by reminding us that sin is never small—and obedience is never useless.

Hibla: The Message of the Readings

Genesis reminds us that the first sin was not just eating a fruit—it was wanting to be God without God.
Psalm 51 shows what comes after awareness: a cry for mercy.
Romans tells us that one man’s disobedience condemned us, but one Man’s obedience redeemed us.
In the Gospel, Jesus faces three temptations—comfort, power, and glory—and chooses the Father every time.

Lent is the journey from Adam’s disobedience to Christ’s obedience.

Hugot: Points to Ponder

Most of the time, we sin not because we are evil, but because we want control, comfort, and validation.
We want bread without fasting, power without humility, glory without the cross.

And yet, Jesus shows us another way:
Trust God, even when obedience is uncomfortable.

Hamon: The Challenge

This Lent, name your temptation—and choose obedience, despite the discomfort.
