Peace is Present Where Preparation, and Proclamation Intersect
Malachi 3:1-4 | Luke 1:68-79| Luke 3:1-6
Zechariah believed his son John was born for a distinct purpose. John would come to be known as John the Baptist. In the midst of religious and political turmoil, John declared through a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins people could begin aligning their lives with the Word of God about to become flesh. To repent means to essentially say, “I am unable”. We are unable to navigate our earthly lives without sin. Our thoughts, words and deeds affirm this. Through Christ, God makes us able. What is God making you able to do, to the benefit of yourself? Others? All of creation? For what purpose is God preparing and enabling you? Listen to this message, and ponder your holy purpose.
