The Second Coming of Christ -A New Beginning
One: Isaiah said (you see, Isaiah was a prophet), "God is sending a messenger to prepare the way."
Many: Prepare the way of the Lord.
One: I'm sending my messenger to your neighborhood.
Many: Prepare the way of the Lord; prepare the way of the Lord.
One: He's yelling from the corner, from the rooftop too.
Many: Prepare the way of the Lord; prepare the way of the Lord.
One: John appeared in our 'hood one day; he had something important to say: "Be baptized, confess your sins. You will be forgiven!"
You know what? My friends and neighbors went out to hear him and they were baptized, confessing their sins!
Youth group: You see, John was not like you or me. He had his own style of dress; camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist (use gestures to demonstrate). He ate locusts and wild honey. He told us that one more powerful than he was coming to our neighborhood, and he was not even worthy to untie this brother's shoes!
One: John told us he baptized with water, but the new man would baptize with the Holy Spirit!
Many: Good news! Good news of Jesus Christ the Son of God!
