Context: John 3:22-36
John’s disciples had just come to him, concerned that people would start following Jesus instead of John. John explained to them that his purpose was to direct people to Christ, not to gain a following for himself.
John understood that his sole reason for existence was to glorify Jesus. Christ must become greater; John must become less.
What if each one of us realized this about our own lives?
What if you made this your prayer? What would that process look like? What would it mean for your life?
How would it change the world?
He must become greater; I must become less.
