Topic: His Superstardom [Wednesday August 12, 2015]

Text: John 3:22-28

Key Verse: “Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him” (John 3:28).

Greatness is measured on the basis of comparison. No man can be adjudged great if there are no lowly men to compare with. There cannot be a king without the subjects; there cannot be a master without servants. To compare Christ with men, living or dead, is to reduce His exalted status. He is above all.

Our text reminds us of the early ministry of Jesus in Judea and how it prospered: “all men come to Him”. The disciples of John and the Jews wondered who Jesus was, that many were turning to Him. John reminded them that he was the forerunner and a faithful witness of Christ, the Son of God Who is from above and greater than all.

As believers, we are to witness to what Christ has done in our lives and point people to Him. We are not to attract men to ourselves. Our service must be with humility, with the glory of God in view. However successful in ministry we may be, our focus must be on the expansion of His kingdom and not on our popularity. Our understanding of who Christ is should make us believe His words.

He gives eternal life to those who believe in Him. Jesus is calling you to put your faith in Him, accept His words and turn to Him from your evil ways today. To reject Him is to reject God and accept eternal damnation. Choose Christ and live. John was a great man as the Lord so described him. He was a forerunner to let the world know that a greater One was coming. He did not define and determine His stature; instead, He remained in the confines which God had configured for him. Do not allow titles or superlative adulations to obscure the vision of who God wants you to be. Serve the Master in all humility and righteousness.
