He Must Become Greater, I Must Become Less
Why is this? To many this seems an odd turn of phrase.
It is only when we empty ourselves that we may be filled with Him.
When our capacity is filled with everything else, we have no space for the endless spring of life.
If we cling to our own method of salvation, our own credentials of control, and resume of right-way-ness, the only thing we are clinging to is our sin and pride. When we let our sin fall away into the chasm of God’s redemption, we cling to righteousness that is not from us but that now defines us.
When John the Baptist had the opportunity to be known as great in His own right, he said, “He must become greater; I must become less.” (John 3:30)
Because it is in this that we may truly become His and life may begin.
He Must Become Greater, I Must Become Less
