Prepare The Way

From www.livinggraceomaha.org

It was the fifteenth year of the rule of the Emperor Tiberius;  Pontius Pilate was governor of Judas;  Herod ruled over Galilee, his brother Philip ruled over the country of Iturea and Trachonitis;  and Lysanias rule over Abilene.  Annas and Caiaphas were the High Priests at that time, when the word o God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the desert.

John proclaimed a baptism for repentant people to obtain forgiveness of sins, and he went through the whole country bordering the Jordan River.  It was just as is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah:  Listen to this voice crying our in the desert, 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his path straight!  The valleys will be filled and the mountains and hills made low.  Everything crooked will be made straight and the rough paths smooth;  and every human being will see the salvation of God!'

Luke 3:1-6

"Jesus, use me to 'prepare the way' for Your coming in other people's hearts.  Show me who and teach me how."
