~~JESUS MUST INCREASE ~~

-"He must increase, but I must decrease" ~
(John 3:30 NASB) --

--John the Baptist shows the best way to know Jesus. When his disciples complained that people were beginning to leave him and follow Jesus, John said he was glad to hear it. He was merely the messenger. "I am not the Messiah but am sent ahead of him...He must become greater; I must become less" (3:28-30). John realized the point of his existence was Jesus. He is "the one who comes from heaven" and "is above all" (v.31)--the divine Son who gave His life for us. He must receive all the glory and fame.

Any attention drawn to ourselves distracts from God. And since He is our only Savior and the only hope for the world, any credit we steal from Him ends up hurting us.

Let's resolve to step out of His Way. Jesus is the only Way to Father G-D. Give Him all the glory. It's best for Him, for the world, and for us.~~

--"Heavenly Father, help us understand that our task is to direct everyone's attention to Your Son, so that He increasingly fills up our lives, so only You will be seen. Help us see that we must decrease and He must increase. We praise You and bless You, in Jesus holy Name.~ amen"
