Luke 3 - Time for a Life Landscape Change

In the midst of Pax Romana John the Baptist proclaimed that a stronger one, a more important one was coming. Lest we get too comfortable in Pax Americana, its time for us to level the rough spots and fill in the pot holes and make the landscape of our lives ready for this one who brings true and lasting peace.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
