Sometimes people on road crews are not very popular. I appreciate the
work these crews do, but it seems they always do it at the worst time,
like during rush hour. What I have never understood is why they have
to close lanes miles before the work site. They block off the entire
freeway, while, they are way over on the other side doing their work.
Some people get rather angry with them.

John the Baptist was on God's road crew. The Bible describes him as
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the
Lord; make His paths straight. Every valley shall be filled and every
mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made
straight and the rough ways smooth" (Luke 3:4–5). The word for
"crying" could be translated "howling." John was not known for
subtlety. He had a job to do, and he realized that he had a relatively
short period of time to do it. His job was much like that of a herald
who went ahead of a royal procession.

John was there to prepare the way for the Lord. He was on God's road
crew, leveling the mountains, bringing up the low places. It was his
task to prepare the nation for their saviour and then to present the
Saviour ;and he wasn't very popular for it.

In a sense, that is our job as Christians as well. We need to realize
that like John, our time is limited. We have to make every moment
count. We don't want to waste time. And like John, we should be doing
what we have been called to do.
