Who does God call to return? He calls everyone, of course, but who are those named in this passage? They are leaders. God is raising up leaders to go forth and proclaim his name in following the call to "return." He did it in John the Baptist; he is doing it today. You may not consider yourself a leader, but God has gifted each of us to serve the church in many and particular ways according to our gifting. Where can you exercise leadership in an area of gifting you have?
