Preparation for God’s Arrival

Title: Preparation for God’s Arrival

“In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,  “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.’ ” -Matthew 3:1-3

“Preach the Gospel, die, and be forgotten.” -Nicolaus Zinzendorf

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” -Matthew 3:1


“The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity, and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty…” -Exodus 34:6

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’ ”) -John 1:14-15
