I am starting to read John. I think God draws me to the gospels again because there something so valuable in it; we just cant miss it. I am reading in John 3:22-36 and there something really important here. Jesus is baptizing people and John's disciples where making a big deal about it ,saying "Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified about—well, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him." competition is the name of the game that is playing out in this passage. But John stop this by saying most profound words in vv27-26 (should read this).
Sometimes in our lives, and our walks as christian, we can get so easily distracted. For John' disciples they got distracted from competition. They forgot the biggest purpose of who Jesus is, and what John himself was proclaiming about him. I wonder what are the things, in this world, distracting me? Remember, to fix our eye's on him! This will most help for me especially in this busy month
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 cor 4:18
