Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 2Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD’S hand double for all her sins. 3The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it
Isaiah 40: 1-5
The ultimate forerunner, John the Baptist, doing what everyone who claims to be Christian is supposed to do. ***Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.***
Then, the ultimate witness. Speaking Truth regardless of the consequences. And then finally the ultimate reward. A Martyrs welcome into the Heavenly Jerusalem.
John’s purpose from the time of his conception was to Proclaim Christ, true, and our’s as well.
