Making a Way for Jesus

“Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,

    and he will prepare your way.”

Mark 1:2

Read Mark 1:1-11

Let’s make it our purpose in 2025 to make a way for Jesus. Jesus needed someone to prepare his way so that the prophecy of Isaiah would be fulfilled. John the Baptist prepared the way for our Lord. Jesus still needs someone to prepare the way for him. We can do it! How?

We can through the purity of our life and the gentleness of our spirit. We can prepare the way for Jesus into our hearts and into our homes. And by our witness, we can prepare the way for Jesus into the hearts and homes of our neighbors.

Yes, we may prepare the way for Jesus; this is our privilege. Yes, we can prepare the way for Jesus; it is in our power through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Yes, we must prepare the way for Jesus; the love of Jesus within our hearts compels us.

My Takeaway: Yes, we will prepare the way for Jesus; this shall be our set purpose for 2025.

My book on prayer,

First Think, Then Pray

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
