Prepare the way of the Lord
Paraphrase Luke 1 and the angels prophecy of John the Baptist tell use about how John was going to prepare the way of the Lord.
How to Prepare the way for people
We have to share the Good New of Christ.
People that are lost those who have not received Christ yet, don’t need you and me to judge them, they need us to love them to life.
If you really love them, you are going to want share the Good News with them.
If we believe that hell is real and people we know doesn’t know Christ and are on there way to hell, if we love them why wouldn’t we share the Good News with them.
There are family members that are heading toward hell right now, sons and daughters.
Moms and Dads, co-workers, your best friend, your Grandfather, your Grandmother.
If we love then and don’t want to see the lost for eternity in hell, we have to share the Good News with then and love them to life in Christ.
#1 TELL PEOPLE THEY NEED SALVATION
Zechariah gives how John prepared the way for Christ
Tell people how to find salvation through the forgiveness of son (vs 77)
#2 WE NEED TO PURSUE AFTER PEOPLE
John went from place to place on both sides of the Jordan river
It would be cool to get some context on how far john traveled for his ministry
#3 WE HAVE TO EMPHASIZE REPENTANCE
When we preach repentance, we need to help people see their need forgiveness for their sins
We also need to share the offensive message of the gospel in love and compassion
#4 WE MUST LIVE IT OUT WITH YOUR LIFE
John Challenges the religious people of the day to prove that their faith is genuine and not just say things with the words but to live it out.
How many times do hypocritical Christians create a barrier for people to receive Christ.
