Mark 1:1-3 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,“Behold, I send my messenger before your face,who will prepare your way, the voice of one crying in the wilderness:‘Prepare the way of the Lord,make his paths straight,’”
I like Mark's version of the "Christmas Story." He gets right to the point. Christ is coming; get ready! As with other places in both Old and New Testaments, there is recognition of a forerunner to help us prepare. But his (John the Baptist') responsibility is to proclaim. Our responsibility is to prepare, to straighten up and be ready. Are we actively engaged in getting ready to meet Christ, as He comes to get in our face?
