Topic: Getting Ready

John was more than just Jesus’ cousin; He was the fore-runner God sent to get things ready for Jesus’ own work. He was a prophet, the greatest of them all according to Jesus. And now He was dead. No wonder Jesus withdrew to Galilee, out of Herod’s reach!

Paul is encouraging us to get ready for the day of salvation—the day when Jesus returns and all evil is gone. That will be a celebration better than any wedding—the day we see our Savior face to face.
