To Guide Our Feet Into The Way Of Peace

To Guide Our Feet Into The Way Of Peace

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,

To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. Luke 1:76-79

John was born to be the prophet of Jesus, to prepare the way for our Savior.

He leapt in the womb upon hearing Mary’s voice, who was pregnant with Jesus (Luke 1:41).

John’s life was dedicated to Jesus, offering the news of the coming salvation – the holy remission of sins – to those in the darkness, in the shadow of death.

Through God’s tender mercy, he carried and shared the way of peace before the coming of Christ.

May we ever offer Christ’s love, in whom we have redemption, to those who sit in the shadow of death.

All is well. Alleluia!
