Before Jesus was born, God sent John the Baptist to prepare everyone's hearts. John's birth was a miracle because his parents were very old and didn't think they could have children. But God promised they would have a son who would tell people about Jesus. And God kept His promise! John grew up to be a great leader who taught people to follow God and get ready for Jesus' coming. John the Baptist's story helps us understand that God has special plans for each of us, just like He did for John. Even when things seem impossible, God can do wonderful things through us. It’s a reminder that God always keeps His promises and prepares us for big things ahead.
