God prepared, readied the places, the people, the purposes for the birth of Christ - the Incarnation!
He prepared Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2, Matthew 2:1ff)
He prepared Mary and Joseph. (Matthew 1:18ff)
He prepared a body for Christ to be our vicarious substitutionary atonement (at-one-ment). (Hebrews 10:5-7. 2 Cor. 5:21, Isa. 53)
He prepares us to be prepared. (2 Timothy 4:2)
>Others prepare us
>We prepare ourselves
>We prepare others
It is unwise, foolish, damaging, sinful, tragic to live unprepared for life/death when there's GOD!
Are you prepared? Make sure. (2 Peter 1:10)
