As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. - Luke 3:4
John the Baptist was one of a few Biblical figures born with a known purpose and calling. John was the promised voice of one crying in the wilderness. He was born to prepare the way of the Lord crying out this message turning the minds of men back to God and away from their sins.
Today, you and I have the same charge. We were born and born again to cry out in the wilderness of this world, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.” While we cannot perform the quickening work of the Spirit of God, you and I can declare that the Savior has come. He lives and reigns today. The children of God must still repent for the Kingdom of God and Heaven is at hand.
This is the Good News. Let us rejoice together and cry with a loud voice. Hosanna to the King!
