Luke 3:4-6 King James Version (KJV)
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

ACV 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, which says, The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of Lord. Make his paths straight. 5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. And the crooked things will be into straight and the rough into smooth ways. 6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

4 The Spirit would give John the Baptist his words but he was the one that the Lord would use. John had a very special role, it was to make the people ready to hear what Jesus had to say, John may have not even be ready for Jesus would do and who He would be. A couple of John’s disciples would become Jesus’ first disciples, including Andrew.

5 Jesus made the way no longer would people not know what to do to be saved but would know it was not by sacrifices but by His sacrifice for us that we are saved not us sacrificing to Him.

6 Jesus is God’s salvation. Jesus means the Lord’s salvation but because we are saved by Him it is more than just another name given but is a chose we have to make.

Hello Clark.

Back in the time of Isaiah when the king traveled from city to city, he sent people ahead of him to clear the road so his travel would be faster and more efficient. It's much like when the president of United States travels in his motorcade and the police are sent forward to stop all traffic and clear the road, so that his motorcade does not have to stop for red lights or traffic jams. I think this is what verses 4 and 5 want us to understand about Johns work. Remember Christ ministry only lasted 3 years. In verse six I believe the phrase 'all flesh’ is referring to both Jew and Gentile.
