“I” Must Become Less

Isaiah 65; Isaiah 66; Psalm 62; John 3


Scripture

John 3:30 He must become greater; I must become less.


Observation

John the Baptist was amazing. Have you ever thought about how it must have felt for John to have Jesus arrive on the scene and take his place of leadership! His disciples began to leave him and follow Jesus. Jesus began to have more people following him than John. John realized that Jesus must become greater and he must become less. AMAZING! David and Jonathan, Paul and Barnabas are great examples for us to follow. Jonathan recognized God’s hand on David and gave David his throne, Barnabas let Paul take the lead once they began their ministry together! So we don’t always have to be the boss!


Application

I need to be a “Barnabas” and help others become great leaders. And I need to have the servant heart of John the Baptist and become less and allow others to become greater!


Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for guys like John the Baptist, Paul and Barnabas, and David and Jonathan! Help me to have a heart like their’s!
