He must
become greater I must become less. John 3:30
No one likes
the individual who always trying to gain attention. That me-first attitude rubs most of us the wrong
way. That instrumentalist or singer who always tries to steal the stage can be annoying.
Jesus taught
us a different way. He said we are to
strive to give glory to God. John the
Baptist, who was a forceful believer, in a godly sense, said regarding Jesus, “He
must become greater and I must become less.”
He had led his group of followers to repentance towards God. His mission was to prepare the way for Jesus’
ministry.
He did not
think more highly of himself than he ought.
Instead, all of his efforts were dedicated to preparing the way for
Jesus and to giving Him glory. Let’s learn
from John’s example. When we serve the
Lord, in any capacity, let’s not draw attention to ourselves.
Lord, help
us to have a servant’s heart, to walk in humility, and enable us to always
give you the glory. Teach us to truly
serve you from our hearts to see your kingdom steadily advance.
