Prepare the way. (Matthew 3:3)

Matthew 3:3


Amplified Bible (AMP)

This is he who was mentioned by the prophet Isaiah when he said, The voice of one crying in the wilderness (shouting in the desert), Prepare the road for the Lord, make His highways straight (level, direct).


John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus. People who do not know Jesus need to be prepared to meet Him. We can prepare them by explaining their need for forgiveness, demonstrating Christ's teachings by our conduct, and telling them how Christ can give their lives meaning. We can "make His highways straight" by correcting misconceptions that might be hindering people from approaching Christ. Someone you know may be open to a relationship with Christ. What can you do to prepare the way for this person?
