Prepare the Way for the Lord

John the Baptist was given the mandate to Prepare the way for the Lord. The Bible clearly shows us in Mark 1:2-4. It reads, “as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way” -- “a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’” And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, (NIV).

We are the John the Baptist generation. We have been called to prepare the way for the Lord, our Coming King. Jesus promised that He would return. In Matthew 25:31-32, Jesus referred to himself saying, “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,” (NIV).

Jesus will not return to earth as a baby in his second coming. He will return as KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS. John, the beloved disciple, was given a vision of Jesus’ return. In Revelation 19:11-16, John said, “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, (NIV).

While we, the body of Christ, await Christ’s coming, we should be fulfilling the Great Commission. Revelation 22:17 says, “The (Holy) Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty (who is painfully conscious of his need of those things by which the soul is refreshed, supported, and strengthened); and whoever (earnestly) desires to do it, let him come; take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost,” (AMPC).
