As we celebrate the Christmas season, we need the prepare the way of the Lord like John the Baptist. John the Baptist was the forerunner of Jesus Christ and like him, we need to prepare the way of the Lord for His return. Adam Hamilton has written an excellent book called “Prepare the Way of the Lord: Advent and the Message of John the Baptist”. He shows us that we need to live the lifestyle of a forerunner and that we truly need to embrace the message of John the Baptist. By embracing John the Baptist’s message, we can be like him as we prepare for the return of Jesus. We need to be the forerunners God has called us to be and prepare the world for the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Prepare the Way for the Lord: Advent and the Message of John the Baptist
By Adam Hamilton / Abingdon Press

Who better to ready your heart for the coming of Jesus than his precursor cousin, John the Baptist? Hamilton’s Advent study explores four themes in John’s message: “A People Prepared for the Lord,” “God Is Gracious,” “The Fruit of Repentance,” and “Witnesses Testifying to the Light.” Leader’s guide and DVD also available, sold separately. 176 pages, hardcover from Abingdon.

By preparing the way of the Lord, we usher in the greatest return of Jesus Christ. We see the need to bring Him back as we live the forerunner lifestyle. As we live this lifestyle, may we fully embrace the message of John the Baptist and be ready for the ultimate return of Jesus Christ!!!
