Rescue!

For Friday, November 25, 2022:

Mark 1:2 NLT: “The Good News about Jesus the Messiah began just as the prophet Isaiah had written: ‘Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way.’”

This coming Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent, four weeks in which we prepare for our Lord’s arrival. God was preparing us for that arrival! The Lord sent prophecy through Isaiah 700 years before the actual event!

The messenger turned out to be John the Baptist! He counseled the Jews to repent and return to the Lord, so that when Jesus arrived, they’d be in a godly state of mind. That just makes Jesus’ work go more smoothly.

The plan for our redemption was in motion! Heaven doesn’t leave its wounded on the battlefield! We are rescued, redeemed by the work Jesus did on the cross. Both then and now, salvation was at hand!

God is in the rescue business!
