John 3:30



Praise the Lord. Today's verse is John 3:30. 

He must increase. But I must decrease. 

The greatest desire of John, the Baptist was Jesus must increase. And he  John, the Baptist must decrease in his popularity. This should be the desire in our lives, also that Jesus should increase in our life, and we must decrease, Here, we see the humility of John, the Baptist God wants us to be humble in our lives.

In the gospel of Matthew, we read in Matthew, 20:20, the mother of James, and John had a request to Jesus that her sons may sit on the right and left of Jesus in His Kingdom. Hearing this, the other disciples became indignant with the two brothers. Jesus called his disciples to him and said 

You know that the rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them and their great man exercise authority over them. It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you  shall be your servant and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave, Just as the son of man, did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life a Ransom for many. We have to follow this example in our life that Jesus came to serve and not to be served.

James says in James 4:10, humble yourself in the presence of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

 let us examine ourselves. Are we humble in our life or do we have pride in our life? Let's look to God in prayer. Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day of God.

Thank you for your grace Lord. As John the Baptist said, Lord help us to humble ourselves and say Jesus, you have to increase in our life and I have to decrease. Let us commit ourselves to God. Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day. Once again, I commit myself into your hands of God. I commit each one of us into your hands. Help us to be humble in Jesus name I pray. Amen. God bless you.

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4th chapter and verses one and two. We are studying from the fourth chapter of John from today. Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees have heard that Jesus was baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples. In this verse we again see about baptism Jesus and his disciples along with John was baptizing in the same place. It is not written whether Jesus and his disciples followed the baptism of John. We do not know. The difference between John's baptism and the Christian baptism is given clearly in the Bible. In Acts 19:3,4, we read " 'Unto what where you baptized?' And they said 'unto John's baptism' . Then Paul said, 'John verily, baptized with the baptism of repentance saying unto the people they that they should believe on Jesus Christ who is to come after him' ". John was preparing a people for Jesus coming. And they repented of...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 5. As he came to the town of Samaria. Called psychar near the field that Jacob had given to his son, Joseph. Hallelujah. In this verse, we see that John the author of this book, had an accurate knowledge of the land of Israel, And also he knew the history of that land. In Genesis 33 19. We see that when Jacob came back to the land of Israel from the house of Leban his father in law, he brought This place For a hundred pieces of silver. It was called the city of Sheikhim.  Jacob says he had given Joseph one portion above his brother. In Genesis 50:25. Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here. We see the hope and the confidence Joseph had that Israel People will go back to their land which happened through the hand of Moses. Joseph knew the promise that God had made to Abraham to Isaac and to his father, Jacob, Concerning the land of Canon...
