25 Days Of Christmas
DAY 10: PREPARE THE WAY
Where To Start
Read Malachi 3:1 and then watch the DAY TEN video.
Malachi is the final prophet in the Old Testament. A 400-year gap followed before the New Testament.
John the Baptist was the forerunner who fulfilled this prophecy. He pointed everyone to Jesus. He prepared the way by calling people to repentance and baptism.
John baptized Jesus as well. He wanted Jesus to increase and himself to decrease. Life is all about Jesus. The glory belongs to Jesus. Serve God sincerely, faithfully, boldly, and humbly.
“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty.
HOPE POINT
Jesus is worthy to be honored.
Reflection Question: Who is John the Baptist, and what was his role as a forerunner?
PRAYER
Father God, search our hearts and show us what needs to change. We repent of all sin. Prepare and equip us, we pray, as we rely on You, to drive out the darkness. We pray for our church to overflow with Your hope and for city transformation in Jesus’ name. Amen.
