John 3:30, He Shall Increase!

John 3:30 suggests that Christ was John's master. Christ would come onto the scene and save the world from our sins if we would accept Him. He would atone for us, and He was perfect, and had the power of the Lord on His side. John the baptist also had the Lord with him, but he wasn't perfect, and he was the forerunner for Christ. He knew his place, and he knew it was below the station of the Savior. John showed the utmost respect and reverence for the work of Christ all the way until he died, and he served his purpose with loyalty and faith. He had a lot of followers, and he was transfering them to their rightful leader, Jesus Christ. John knew his time had passed, and he knew who the Savior was. He righteously led Christ's believers to Christ's side, as was prophesied. John the baptist was a great and righteous man.We can too, follow in John's footsteps by sharing the gospel today in every way we can. Missionary work is what brings the light of the truth to people that are feeling lost. Why would we want to have it any other way? We can shout the message of Christ to everyone, just like John did, and respect that it is Christ who deserves our devotion, not ourselves.
