More of Him

25 Then there arose a dispute between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!”
27 John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’ 29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
John 3:25-30 (NKJV)

John played his role according to the divine script of heaven. He introduced the Savior to the world as he declared it to his disciples and all. He stressed that the focus and Star of all times is Jesus Christ the King of kings and Son of God. He must be the focus of our attention and pivot of our life. Any attempt to make Him (Jesus Christ) the side attraction and not the 'Main attraction' must be resisted and discouraged. His Kingdom cause must grow, flourish and blossom unhindered. .

We cannot share the stage with the Maker. It will be silly and dumb to do that. More of Him, less of us.
