“After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit” – Mark 1: 7, 8.
John – the Baptist came to prepare the way for
Jesus. We can see in the scripture, until Jesus came in the picture, it was all
about John. John was preaching about salvation and repentance. He was preaching
about water baptism.
But the moment he saw Jesus, he started talking
about Jesus and introduced Jesus to the world.
We see lots of preachers and evangelists now a
days glorifying about them and their ministries. Specially since its new year,
every where you can find preachers giving promises and prophecy about the year.
They brag about their ministry or themselves. At this time, we always need to
see John the Baptist.
John had lots of disciples. But still when he
saw Jesus, he started glorying Jesus instead of him.
This is what we need to have this year. Just
glorify Jesus. We might see miracles in our life. There will be temptation to
brag about how we overcame the odds. But just brag about Jesus, because the
greatest help Jesus did for us is He gave His life for us.
Don’t forget your salvation and through whom
you received. May God bless you!
