Preparing the Way

Isaiah 40:1-4

“Comfort, yes, comfort My people!”
Says your God.
“Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, That her warfare is ended,
That her iniquity is pardoned;
For she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.”

The voice of one crying in the wilderness:“Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God.  Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low;

The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth;
