John 3:22-36

Jesus began His ministry and was baptizing people. John the Baptist's disciples came to him to let him know what was happening. John reaffirmed that Jesus was the whole reason for his ministry and that as Jesus' ministry became larger, his own would become smaller.

John understood that it wasn't about him. His whole purpose was to point the way to Jesus and now that Jesus' ministry had begun, the focus should be on Him. When we are witnessing to others, we always need to keep in mind that the purpose should be to point others to Jesus. If it weren't for Jesus, we would have nothing to tell and would still be lost ourselves. It's all about perspective.
