Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Matthew 3:3b RSV
Make straight the path that the Holy One will tread. The Greek word euthys rendered "straight" carries more nuances than "straight" as in a line between dots or a pathway without any curves. It connotes immediacy and levelness or smoothness as along a beaten trail. As a way of life euthys refers to the absence of obstacles. In the context here, John the Baptist referred to the saying of the prophet Isaiah that there would some day come One who would accept our repentance, which is the preparation for our enduring relationship with our creator. To repent means to change direction, to return to the way set before us by Love, itself a path for the Holy One, Y'shua, to find us in the wilderness of our conceit. Shalom, Mother BE
