One of the greatest mysteries for God’s Old Testament people was two-fold: When will God prepare the way for the Messiah? How will God prepare the way for the Messiah? Through the prophet Isaiah, the Lord revealed to his people that a messenger would be preparing the way in the wilderness calling God’s people to repent, to “prepare the way” for the coming King. In essence, that messenger would come to “prepare the way” for Christ through the hearts of God’s people. God would solve that mystery in his own time, in his own way through the coming of his strange messenger—John the Baptizer. We rejoice that God prepared the way for Christ’s first coming, just as he promised, and we know that the Lord prepares us for his return.
The Bible reading for this message is Isaiah 40:1-11.
