Luke 1:17 – “It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
In the Bible, we find the concept of “forerunner.” It is taken from thousands of years ago when Eastern monarchs planning a journey or expedition sent ahead scouts into the lands before them and would construct bridges, level hills, and so on, making their trip possible.
There are stories in the Bible about John the Baptist, and others who played this important role—although it was not physical roads or bridges they were building.They were guiding souls to the Lord.
The first question is, who guides us today?
We have an awesome God who guides us through life if only we will heed his words… if we will but ask Him to exercise His will in our lives.
The second question is, who can guide others to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ?
We have no further to look than our own reflection in the mirror.
