My dear brothers and sisters,
John the Baptist’s story in Luke’s Gospel shows us how God works in amazing ways!
Picture this: During Emperor Tiberius and Governor Pontius Pilate, God chose John – not a powerful ruler or wealthy person – but a humble man in the wilderness to prepare the way for Jesus.
John told everyone to prepare for something incredible: the coming of our Savior.
He used a beautiful image his listeners would understand, like preparing a road for an essential king by filling valleys and leveling hills.
This wasn’t just about fixing actual roads but about preparing our hearts to welcome Jesus with love and openness.
