Reading through Matthew's Gospel in Lent

Thursday after Ash Wednesday: Matthew 3
Are you enjoying reading Matthew? And Tom Wright? I liked Tom Wright’s bit (half-way down p5) where he points out that John’s Baptism was re-enacting the people entering the Promised Land; perhaps he means crossing the Red Sea, or more likely crossing the River Jordan (where John was baptising). Which bit particularly spoke to you?

This passage reminds me that it can be easier to remember that I am a forgiven child of God but forget to go through the important, and often hard, process of repentance. I should never taken God's grace for granted and forget the price that was paid.
