Lk 3,4 

a) As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:

b) “A voice of one calling in the wilderness,

c) ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.
d) 5 Every valley shall be filled in,

e) every mountain and hill made low.

f) The crooked roads shall become straight,

g) the rough ways smooth.
h) 6 And all people will see God’s salvation.’ ”

a) What is the prophecy for today - this time i am living?

Is a prophecy a good reverence for people who do not care about Bible, God and prophecy's? I guess not!

>> What is obvious for this time?

>> What do people care about?

>> How do they feel?

>> What are they waiting for?

b) I am a visible answer to the question - people in those times waited for the messiah!> What are they waiting for? Is my life the visible answer, because my discipleship of Jesus is so obvious?

"A voice": Can people hear me?

c) Do people know - wait for the Lord? People today do not even desire a Lord. They want to be their own Lord.

The message is maybe anyway more about, that the Lord IS coming!

Then we would need to make clear: Hey - there is a Lord over heaven and earth!

This Lord will come!

We are all accountable to him!

Are you able to meet him?

Without faith in God - no one cares about a Lord.

What does it mean to make straight path?

Is my thinking straight or do i make compromises every where, just how ever i feel? If i say, i am loving people? When do i stop love people because i don't feel like i can or want to or care about?

Am i really the person i say i am?

Are my words and actions straight?

So - today: i would preach: Stop being so hypocritical and selfish and start to be consistent - is that what i would need to tell them?

d) Valley should be filled. > What is it? I can understand, that personally i feel at times in a low point. I hide. I am going down. I can say, that i definitely feel in valley's at times

In order not to stay there, not let it happen, what does it mean:

Self control?

Selflessness?

e) Mountain & Hill made low. Having no false humility and no pride anymore! People: JUST BE WHO YOU ARE - BE REAL & HUNEST!!!

What are you truly desiring? I guess LOVE : GOD IS LOVE!

f) crooked roads shall become straight

What in my life is crooked? Am i hiding things? Am i doing illegal staff?

g) rough ways smooth

unfriendliness, rage, fury, wrath, ... how am i in relationships?

h) Hope - if you know, God is real: How do you feel about seeing him soon?
