John helps us to prepare our lives for Jesus. We listen to him and look at our lives. Are we selfish and proud? Do we think we know everything? Do we have bad habits? John calls us to let God’s mercy change us. He points the way to Jesus. During this season, not all of the messages about Christmas are actually about Jesus, are they? John’s a prophet doing his job. He keeps us on track. He points us to the truth, to Jesus—who is coming soon!
