About the Cover: A locust-and-honey-eating prophet wearing a camel’s hair garment and a leather belt calls out in the wilderness. The Lord sent John the Baptist with the call of repentance. For us today in the season of Advent, preparing the way of the Lord born to us on Christmas morn still runs through repentance. By God's law, He reveals our sin, and by the Gospel of Jesus, He delivers the forgiveness that has been won for us on the cross.
