My Forerunner


Hebrews 6:20 KJV
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

John the Baptist was the forerunner for Jesus Christ. It was his duty to come before the Lord and announce His coming. John the Baptist prepared the way of the Lord so when Christ arrived on the scene there were believers waiting and followers ready.

Hebrews says that Jesus Christ is our forerunner.
Jesus came before us and showed us a life of sinlessness
Jesus came before us and showed us a life of service
Jesus came before us and showed us a life of sacrifice


But then Christ went before us to the grave and showed us the resurrection. And He said "because I live ye shall live also."

And Christ went before us into glory and told us
John 14:2-3 (KJV)
...I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
He is preparing heaven so that it is ready to receive us.

Christ went before us and is now seated at the right hand of the Father and because He is there we are told in Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
What a humbling thought, that the almighty God would run before us to prepare for us a way!
