John 1:15-34

We start to get into the story of John the Baptist here. Again, he makes it perfectly clear that he is NOT the messiah, or even a prophet. He is only there to help pave the way for Jesus, and that is exactly what he does. The interesting thing to me, though, is how he was able to let go (as we talked about yesterday). John was a pretty well-known speaker and a lot of times he spoke to large crowds, but he wasn’t all about himself. As soon as Jesus showed up, he was perfectly fine with turning the show over to Him. Thats why he was there in the first place! He was fine with letting God/Jesus take the higher place. He was humble, and God did some amazing things through and with him because of his humility and willingness to do whatever God wanted him to do. When we let go of our arrogance and we let Jesus be honored in everything we do, God will do amazing things through you.
