[The Glory Unveiled]
After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. [ Luke 10:1 NIV ]
John the Baptist was sent ahead of Jesus to prepare the way for Him. A forerunner does not merely arrive first; he makes the work of the One who follows easier. He clears obstacles, softens resistance, and makes hearts ready. Because of this preparation, when Jesus finally spoke, His words did not sound strange. They sounded familiar. They resonated. They found prepared ground. In the same way, whenever we go out with the gospel, the Spirit of the Word goes ahead of us. Before our voices are heard, the Holy Spirit is already at work. He is stirring hearts, opening minds, and awakening spiritual hunger. He prepares people inwardly so that when the Word finally reaches them through us, it does not fall on deaf ears. It feels recognizable. It feels right. It brings comfort, conviction, and transformation. This was the very pattern of Christ’s own ministry. Jesus often sent His disciples ahead of Him into towns and villages He would later visit. Their assignment was not merely to speak—it was to prepare. They were cultivating spiritual soil. And when Jesus Himself arrived, He met hearts that were already open and ready to receive Him. So it is with us today. When we speak to someone about Christ, we are not just sharing information. We are participating in divine preparation. We are cooperating with the Holy Spirit in shaping a heart for salvation. And it does not end with our words. After we have spoken, the Spirit continues the work. He follows up. He reveals truths they could not have known on their own. He brings conviction, understanding, and faith. So, every time you speak about Jesus, understand this: you are preparing the way for the Spirit of Truth. You are opening a door for heaven to visit a human heart. You are setting in motion a process that God Himself will complete. So speak boldly. Speak faithfully. For when you prepare the way, God will surely come.
