"In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord;
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” ~Isaiah 40:3
“The people were waiting expectantly…” ~Luke 3:15
“The people were waiting expectantly…” ~Luke 3:15
I love it when a familiar scripture comes alive with fresh truth! This morning in Luke 3, I noticed the people’s response to John the Baptist as he quoted Isaiah to prepare the way for the Lord. John tells the people to “produce fruit in keeping with repentance.” The people quickly respond by asking, “What should we do then?” Active waiting!
The people listened to John the Baptist, asked questions, and were eager to respond in obedience. Luke sums it up, “The people were waiting expectantly.” Active waiting!
Both Isaiah and John the Baptist proclaim the Advent of the Messiah by teaching the people to prepare the way … make straight paths … produce fruit in keeping with repentance. Active waiting!
How am I waiting expectantly for Jesus’ presence in my own life today and preparing the way for His Second Advent? Active waiting!
