Merry Christmas! Making our hearts ready for Jesus is no small task! In fact, John the Baptist equates it to leveling mountains, filling valleys, straightening crooked roads, and smoothing out the rough ones.

This series lays out three vital practices that every follower of Jesus must embrace if we are to prepare the way for Jesus. We find them in one of John the Baptist’s sermons and then see them prophetically illustrated through through three epic journeys taken in the Christmas narrative. Let’s prepare the way!
