Early in Jesus’ ministry some of John the Baptist’s disciples took issue with what Jesus was doing and came to John to complain. He responded, “The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. He must increase, but I must decrease.” Pastor Jim uses the example of John the Baptist’s response to explain why it must be the Christian’s supreme desire to have Christ increase and self decrease.
