The Voice in the Desert

Before Jesus began His ministry, God sent a messenger to get the road ready — a wild preacher dressed in camel's hair, living in the desert, calling everyone to turn from their sins and be baptized in the River Jordan. Crowds walked out of the cities to hear him, but John always pointed away from himself: "There cometh one mightier than I after me." This is the story of the voice in the desert, drawn from Mark 1 — the man God chose to prepare the way for Jesus.
