Go and Prepare His Ways | Lord's Day Sermon | 22nd December, 2024 | Martin Obono

As a child of God, the primary purpose of your life and calling is to serve the Lord.

This is the consistent theme of the demands upon the life of the people of God from the very beginning. The people of God were called to a life of service to God, nothing less.

The first chapter of the Gospel of Luke details the birth and purpose of the life of John the Baptizer. John was sent by God to "go and prepare His ways", speaking in reference to our the imminent coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. This call, while it was specific to John as a herald of the Lord Jesus Christ, is not limited to him and his context. This is the call upon every believer. Every one who names the name of the Lord is called into the task of preparing the hearts of people to receive the salvation of the Lord.

There is no greater duty and indeed it is a privilege we bear when we share in the commission of the Lord. This Lord is coming back, and it is entrusted in our hands the duty of preparing his ways.

Listen to learn what this means to you as a child of God and how you can commit your lives to this privilege.
