Humility and Greatness
In John 3:22-36, John the Baptist demonstrates deep humility as his followers grow jealous that crowds are flocking to Jesus. John rejoices, famously stating that "He must increase, but I must decrease". The passage concludes by declaring that belief in Jesus brings eternal life, while rejecting Him brings God's wrath.
