John 3:29-30
“The one who had the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. He must increase but I must decrease.”

“We exist to glorify Christ. If someone else can do it better, let them. Let’s rejoice when others surpass us spiritually. God will be glorified and we’ll be filled with joy.” Stephen Altrogge

There just isn’t any room in the Christian life for competition or jealousies. There is no room for exalting self… we must glorify Christ! Not ourselves!
Like John the Baptist, I must decrease. CHRIST must increase.

You must read Stephen Altrogge's blog about this scripture. It was excellent!
