If you live in the southern portion of the US, you know a forecast of "snow" brings about much anticipation and preparation. Many areas in the south don't have the resources necessary to deal with the effects of snow and ice....therefore bread and milk are in high demand....as well as other food items. Right now we have a forecast of snow for tomorrow....i can guarantee the grocery stores will be busy today selling these necessities.
In today's scripture we see John the Baptist calling out to prepare for the Savior, Jesus Christ. John was fortunate to baptize Jesus in the Jordan River. His message to the crowds....prepare your life for Jesus Christ. Receive Him and have your sins forgiven. Have you prepared for Christ? Does He occupy your heart and life?
Fortunately, Jesus made it simple for us to receive Him....ask. Ask Him to come into your life and forgive your sins and live for Him daily. Nothing you can do will save yourself...not trying to live right, say right things...(although these are good things)...these things won't save you. It's faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
If you've never asked Him to come into your heart, do it today. He prepared the way for you to have eternal life through His death on the cross for forgiveness of sins. He rose to life again on the third day...defeating death. Receive Him today and enjoy the eternal benefits of being called a Child of the Living God! Have a blessed day.
