Getting Ready for Great Truth and Freedom Soon! (Matthew 3:1-6)

Before Abba (our father in Heaven) could send us his son Jesus Christ, he knew he had to get us ready. Otherwise, we might remain completely deaf and blind to Christ’s words of truth and signs of freedom. He also knew that the best way to prepare us was to have us repent of our sins; that is, of our foolish devotion to false gods and our self-centered treatment of other people. So he sent to us John the Baptist.
