Today, we are looking at the radical life of John the Baptist - a man who lived his entire existence for one purpose: to point people to Jesus.

Think about that. No backup plans. No personal brand. No building his own following. Just one laser-focused mission.

John understood this truth: "I am not the light; I am only a witness to the light."

And here's the beautiful paradox - when John embraced being small so Jesus could be big, he found complete joy. Not the temporary happiness of applause, but deep satisfaction in fulfilling his God-given purpose.

This Advent season, stop trying to shine on your own. Just reflect Jesus.
