A reflection on John 3:22-36. This passage is mostly about John the Baptist. Some of his followers are upset because Jesus is kind of encroaching on John’s territory. Jesus has been baptizing people - the shock! John’s response - I never said I was the Messiah. He must increase, I must decrease. John wasn’t out for fame, but rather was all about pointing to the truth - and that actually meant that his ministry was going to get smaller.

And then, there’s the only mention of the word wrath in John’s gospel - that will always trip us up!!!
