I have meditated for sometime on this image. The biblical saying about "prepare a way for the Lord...." is used in Advent for the anticipation of Christmas. Yet, here it used for Lent?
Thought I to myself--Well, now hold on, Jesus does emerge from the Wilderness sojourn and as a result--prepares a way, "The Way," known as the Christian Life. So out of the wilderness comes Jesus--from the same place of John the Baptist to fulfill what the Baptist said. I just never put these two together--until I spelled them as "Adv-ent" and "L-ent"--the coming of light, the Light of the world.
