Advent

"This is the beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God," (Mark 1:1).

"Comfort, comfort my people. Speak kindly to the people of Jerusalem and tell them that their time of service is finished, that they have paid for their sins, that the Lord has punished Jerusalem twice for every sin they did. This is the voice of one who calls out. Prepare in the desert the way for the Lord. Make a straight road in the dry lands for our God. Every valley should be raised up, and every mountain and hill should be made flat. The rough ground should be made level, and the rugged ground should be made smooth" (Isaiah 40:1-4).

"I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way for me. Suddenly the Lord you are looking for will come to his temple; the messenger of the agreement, whom you want will come" (Mal. 3:1).

He has come and He is coming again. This is the beginning of the good news. Repent, change your minds and hearts, and be baptized.
