'Preparing the Way' - John 1:6-7

God sent a man, John the Baptist, to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony.

—John 1:6-7 NLT

Key Thought​

For most of us to have heard the message of Christ, there had to be a "John" for us! Who was your "John"? Who prepared the soil of your heart to receive the Good News? Who taught you the truth of God and called you to repentance and to excited expectation about what God would do in you through his Son Jesus and through the powerful Holy Spirit? Why not take some time today to write that person a thank-you note? Why not make a renewed commitment today to be "John" for someone else who needs to know the Savior?

Today's Prayer​

Father, thank you so much for the following people who helped prepare my heart to receive the message of Jesus: ... . Please bless my efforts at sharing Jesus' message with others. In his name, I thank you. Amen.
