“...The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” Do you believe that? How does your life testify to that? We love to reference that scripture, yet Christians continue to allow people and circumstances they face to have greater impact in their lives than the one who lives within. We allow the worry of finances to be greater than our worship of tithing. We allow the busyness of life to be greater than our attentiveness to God. We allow our personal preference to be greater than God’s inclination. The greatness of God isn’t something we just observe in the beauty of scripture and creation. The greatness of God can be experienced in every facet of life, but in order for that to happen John 3:30 has to be the appetite of your life.

"He must become greater, I must become less"

For Jesus to become greater in your life, you have to view Him as greater than what life offers. If experiencing pleasure is greater than pleasing God how does John 3:30 become real in your life? If comfort is greater than service how does John 3:30 happen in your life? What is Jesus greater than to you? Is Jesus greater than the relationships you participate in? Is Jesus greater than the success in your life? Is Jesus greater than your needs? Is Jesus greater than the stresses of life?
