Isaiah 38-40, Galatians 2: 11-21, Psalm 136: 13-26
Isaiah 40: 3 (ESV)
“A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the
Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.”
When I read verse 3 from Isaiah 40 I immediately thought of
John the Baptist preaching in the desert. The prophet Isaiah predicted the life
of John as he did the birth and life of Christ. John the Baptist has always
been one of my favorite characters in the Bible. John had a miraculous birth, and
his life was so focused and one-pointed on preparing the way for the arrival of
Christ. I also find it interesting the John the Baptist and Jesus both had
miraculous births, were cousins, and therefore peers. Christ also came to earth
with a mission, so his life was also focused and one-pointed.
I believe if you are a person of faith, God has a mission
for all of us. Our lives might not be as focused as Jesus or John the Baptist,
but we have a mission from God nonetheless to fulfill his plan on earth for all
of humanity.
