Prepare ye the way of the Lord
John the Baptist was not a Baptist, but he was sent to prepare the way of the Lord by calling upon all to repent of their sins and evil ways and to be baptized in the name of the one who was to come and who would make atonement for the sins of the world by bearing upon the cross the full punishment for the sins of all.

Our hope is in the Lord....
The people of Israel were directed to place their hope in the LORD for forgiveness and eternal salvation. They were not told to trust in themselves, or to try to appease God’s wrath by living a good life under the Law! Rather, they were directed to trust in the LORD God to have mercy on them and to forgive their sins! They were assured that with him is plenteous redemption. They were comforted by the truth that God is merciful, and that in Him is full and complete redemption from sin and its eternal consequences (cf. Psalm 86:5). They were comforted by the promise that “he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.”

Praise the Lord with a new song
While we often join in the worship and praise of previous generations with time-proven hymns of praise, we are also called upon to praise the Lord with new songs – with songs of praise flowing from hearts which trust in the Lord God and love Him for all His goodness and mercy toward us (cf. John 4:21-24).
