Chapters 1-2 have prepared us for the ministry of John the Baptist and Jesus, and now the ministry of John is launched with God’s word coming to him in the wilderness. John is in the wilderness on the other side of the Jordan, just as Israel was in the wilderness before entering the Land of Promise. Before the promises would be realized Israel had to be cleansed of its sin and to turn afresh to God. John appropriates Isaiah 40:3–5 to explain his ministry. He is the voice in the wilderness, preparing the Lord’s way. All will see God’s salvation when they humble themselves before him.
