Luke 7:28

"This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’"

Key Reflection

In this passage, Jesus is affirming John the Baptist as the prophesied messenger preparing the way for his coming, fulfilling Isaiah 40:3. This highlights John's role not just as a prophet but as the harbinger of the Messiah, clearing the path for the full revelation of God’s presence and kingdom.
