Listen to John's description of himself and Jesus:
1) John the Baptist says in verse 1:27, "I baptize with water, but among you stands one who you do not know, even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."
2) 1:20, "I am not the Christ...I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said.'"
John the Baptist understood who he was and who Jesus was. Jesus was the show. Jesus was the point. John understood he was not. He understood himself only as one who pointed to the real hope.
...Might you consider seeing yourself and Jesus in this way today? Jesus>Me.
