Prepare the Way


Today’s modern highways no longer follow the natural terrain. Highway departments cut through mountains, build bridges over rivers, and fill ravines with rip-rap and dirt to level the landscape and make roads smooth. The words of Isaiah the prophet apply to John the Baptist, “A voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him. Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. And all mankind will see God’s salvation’” (Luke 3:4-6 NIV).
