In Luke, Chapter 3, a message came from John, the Baptiste while he was living in the desert. Then God called him from the desert to preach the Word of God. Then John went from place to place on both sides of the Jordan River, preaching that people should be baptized to show that they had turned to God and away from their sins, in order to be forgiven. In the words of Isaiah the prophet, John was “a voice shouting from the barren wilderness, Prepare a road for the Lord to travel on! Widen the pathway before him! Level the mountains! Fill up the valleys! Straighten the curves! Smooth out the ruts! And then all mankind shall see the Savior sent from God.’”FRIENDS, JOHN THE BAPTIST PREACHED DURING THE THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
