For more on this passage, please visit Min. Danny’s blog post on Luke 1:5-17.
John the Baptist serves as a transitional bridge (cf. Lk 7:26-28) between the Old Testament and the New Testament, the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. His purpose is to prepare the way for the Lord, to prepare God’s people for God’s Presence.
My brothers and sisters, are we ready for Christmas? Are we prepared for the Lord? Are we ready to follow the Way (cf. Jn 14:6) or are we still going our own way (cf. Psalm 1 Bible Study)?
We may have prepared our homes for company, but have we prepared our hearts for Christ? Let’s not merely celebrate the presents under the tree, but the Presence of the Lord. Who came and dwelled among us (Jn 1:14).
