We're taking a break from Leviticus for the holidays, and will spend a few weeks dwelling with and learning from John the Baptist.
For centuries, God's people have set aside the weeks before Christmas to prepare themselves to celebrate Jesus' birth. No one in history has better modeled this idea of preparation better than Jesus' own cousin, who we call John the Baptist. This desert-dwelling, locust-eating prophet was uniquely called by God, spent his life pointing others to Jesus, and died for the sake of God's mission. As The City Church gets to know John the Baptist over the 2011-2012 holiday season, we'll join him in proclaiming to our lives and our world, "Prepare the way of the Lord!"
