A verse in Isaiah (40:3) caught my attention.
A voice cries out in the wilderness, "Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God!"
A related passage was Mark 1:1-3
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As it is written in the prophets
"See I am sending my messenger ahead of you who will prepare your way;
the voice of one crying out in the wilderness
Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight!"
I saw this and wondered what of the other Gospels make this reference to Isaiah. So, I started looking. And I was amazed to see that all FOUR gospels make this reference to Isaiah.
Matt 1:1-3
Mark 1:1-3
Luke 3:1-6
John 1:19-23
And who would this messenger God is sending to prepare the way be?
According to the four gospels, this messenger is John the Baptist!
