"Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths." (Matt 3:3) He cried out! He didn't speak, as if it was a passing thought like: "Oh by the way, did you know the Lord is coming?" He cried out! He cried! There was urgency! There was passion! He was risking his life to proclaim the Lord's coming. When he came out to the desert, and began to tell everyone to repent, he was on the way to his death. Why did he do it? He had no choice. Only God can give that kind of courage; and John the Baptist had known the Lord from the time he was inside his mother's womb. "When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leapt in her womb." (Luke 1:41)
