Into the Neighborhood, part 2: Road Construction

Focus: John the Baptist, as the one announcing the coming of the King, was the voice calling out in the desert, “Prepare the way for the Lord.”  Making the path straight and bringing the high places low didn’t involve heavy machinery even then.  John proclaimed a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, a turning of the heart away from the former, and told people to live that out, to share what they had and to not take advantage of others.  What would the road construction look like in your neighborhood to make it ready for the King?
