A READING FROM LUKE
“The voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled,
and every mountain and hill shall be made low,
and the crooked shall be made straight,
and the rough ways made smooth;
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ”
MESSAGE IN A PARAGRAPH OR TWO
The message is in the passage from Luke. We, you and I, are being called again to prepare the Lord’s way. First have complete trust, not in earthly rulers, but in Christ alone. Then do what he told his followers to do. And give thanks for his love and grace.
