Making a Way for Jesus

Sunday. Mark 1:1-11.

This is the thing, to prepare the way for Jesus. John did it. Jesus needed it. He needs it. We can do it. By purity of life, earnestness of purpose, gentleness of spirit we can open the way for Jesus into hearts and homes. We may; it is our privilege. We can; it is in our power. We must; Jesus’ love in the heart drives us to it. Surely we will; this shall be our glad, set purpose.
