“The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah,[a] the Son of God,[b] 2 as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way”[c]—
3 “a voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”[d]
Mark 1:1-3 NIV
God’s story and God’s plan is greater than our self-oriented desires
We are a part of His story, not the other way around
We all have been given certain gifts to use while we are here
Our job is to recognize the gifts we have been given and to use them to help others
We are to do our part to Prepare the Way for the coming of the Lord when He returns
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.”
John 3:36 NIV
