Today we continue our series on the Gospel of John with a passage on John the Baptist and his response to Jesus' rising popularity. Pastor Ulysses teaches us with this story that we need to be sure of who we are in this world. We need to realize we are children of God and that our self-worth should come through that alone. Every accomplishment we do is through His grace. Therefore there is no point to compete with others, especially other Christians. Afterall we all should build up the bride, the Church for the bridegroom, Jesus. We must decrease and He must increase.
