Video from N.T. Wright Online
God's Word Stands Forever - Isaiah 40:3-8 N.T. Wright
"This video reflects on the popular Advent passage, quoted by John the Baptist, "A voice crying out, 'In the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord.'" Reflecting the hopes of Israelites suffering in exile for God to return to their temple, John the Baptist's retrieval of the passage is telling. Not only does it set Jesus up in the role of the returning God, but adds the dimension of forgiveness of sins to this expectation.
