Theme: Looking for the Forerunner
This week's lessons teach us how John the Baptist prepared the way for Christ's coming.
Scripture: Mark 1:1-8
Over the next few days everybody will be making final preparations for Christmas, and it is not exactly something we look forward to. At least I don't. I admire people who do it weeks or even months in advance, like people who have all their gifts purchased, wrapped, and even mailed by Thanksgiving.
Over the next few days everybody will be making final preparations for Christmas, and it is not exactly something we look forward to. At least I don't. I admire people who do it weeks or even months in advance, like people who have all their gifts purchased, wrapped, and even mailed by Thanksgiving. I do most of my shopping two weeks before Christmas. However, whether it is early or late, by the final night we will have made whatever preparation we are going to have made. After that it is too late. All we will be able to do is sit back in an exhausted state and “enjoy.”
