—John 3:22-30
by: Leota Stevens.
What a picture of a humble heart! Big, bold John was the man that everyone had been clamoring to hear. This man had a reputation that preceded him, he had followers, he had disciples, and he had earned his right to be heard. Yet, we see the submissive reverence of John’s heart to God’s plan. John’s priorities were straight; he had been called to prepare the way for the Messiah, not to be the Messiah. The humility of spirit evidenced in this man is a pattern for all who wish to bring glory to God and not themselves.
