As we came back to our study in the gospel of John, we were reminded of what it means to truly have a heart of humility from the example of John the Baptist. Though his disciples grew jealous over the growing influence of Christ, John remained faithful to his call as the herald of the Savior. From his example we were reminded that all that we have is from God; everything we have is a demonstration of His grace and a responsibility to steward. We were also reminded that our identity comes from God; all that we are comes from God and He alone decides our identity. Finally, we were reminded that a true heart of humility rejoices in the glory of Christ, desiring that all praise would go to Him alone. With these truths in mind, we can joyfully share the sentiment of the Baptizer and say “God you must increase, and I must decrease!”
