Light The Way
February 25th, 2020
John 1:14-23
John the Baptist’s single mission was to light the way for the coming of the Light of the world. John was the servant appointed to issue the clarion call that the king was coming. He was to prepare the way for the people to receive the king by removing any stumbling blocks or barriers that stood in the way.
Do we recognize our own mission? It is exactly the same as John’s. We are still the voice calling out, pointing the way to Jesus. We should be working to clear the way for everyone to receive Him.
Recall Jesus’ words in Matthew 23:13, “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.”
Are we clearing the path and lighting the way for those in the wilderness to find the king? Or are we cluttering the path, making it more difficult for them to find their way to Jesus?
