As Christmas nears, we examine the preparations that God made for the coming of his Son. From this passage, we look at the following five points:

* Who was the Messiah who was to come?
* Who was the messenger who would prepare the way for him?
* What did the messenger tell them to do to get ready for Messiah's coming?
* Who was it that would see Messiah's glory and receive the benefits of His work?
* Why should we receive the Lord Jesus as our Savior?


We are all urged to come to Christ this Christmas time - believers, because we continue to have need of Him every day - unbelievers, because they are in great danger and should waste no time in seeking Him for salvation.
