While you may not have the same kind of baked-in sense of purpose that John had, as a follower of Christ, your purpose is not terribly different from his. “He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.” John 3:30 NLT He wanted Jesus’ ministry to grow, and that meant his own ministry would diminish. That’s why John didn’t freak out when his own disciples reported that Jesus was getting quite a following of his own. I am only here to prepare the way for him.’” John 3:28 NLT “You yourselves know how plainly I told you, ‘I am not the Messiah. He knew his mission: to pave the way for the Messiah.
Hey, when Jesus says you’re great…you’re great! And yet…John wasn’t aiming for greatness. “I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John.” Luke 7:28a NLT He wasn’t trying to build an empire, or even become the greatest preacher ever known. Luke 7:28 | John 3:28,30 | 1 Peter 2:9 You will be greater for reading this.
