Kindred, 

It was prophesied in Malachi 3:1 that John the Baptist will pave the way for Jesus Christ. 

When the time came John himself announced, “After me will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit”.    

                                                            - Mark 1:7

It is natural for those that came before to pave the way of salvation for succeeding generations.

But have we paved the way of salvation, as directed by Jesus Christ, for our children? 

Did we lighten and brighten their path?

"Let your light so shine before people, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven"           

                                  -      Matthew 5:1

Would you say we made life easier and better for our sons and daughters to navigate (and find the path of salvation)?
