He Must Increase, I Must Decrease
Lesson 7 – He Must Increase, I Must Decrease
Scripture: John 3:22–36
Key Verse:
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:30)
Introduction:
John the Baptist’s humility shines here. While others worry that Jesus’ ministry is growing larger than John’s, John celebrates it! His joy is in seeing Christ exalted.
Study Points:
True Joy: Joy comes not from recognition but from pointing others to Jesus.
Humility: John models a heart that gladly steps back so Jesus can be seen.
Eternal Life: The one who believes in Jesus has eternal life.
Reflection Questions:
What areas of life need more of Jesus and less of you?
How can you point people toward Christ this week?
Application:
Write a short prayer of surrender, asking God to “increase” in your life.
