(Mark continues) As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way; the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make the paths straight….” John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Mark 1:2 – 4
Lord what a great messenger John the Baptist was. A bit strange and yet he had a great message. A message that would prepare all that heard him to repent and ask forgiveness of their sins.
Thank You for the ‘John the Baptists’ that are in this world today. I think of Billy Graham and how he cried out just as John did the message of repentance. And like John there were those that listen and obeyed.
Thank You for the boldness Lord to proclaim Your good news. May we always want to share our love of You with others. Thank You for the gift of sharing and the love that goes along with it. Your strength and You power surge through us Lord and we thank You.
Thank You Lord.
