Unit 21  Session 4

HEAVEN TO EARTH

john 3:25-36

 

Key Concept:

Belief involves acknowledging the supremacy of Jesus.

Jesus began to attract a crowd after His first miracle and driving out the money changers in the temple. Not long after meeting with Nicodemus, Jesus and His disciples went out to preach the message of the kingdom. Jesus and John the Baptist found themselves baptizing in the same vicinity with crowds flocking to each. John the Baptist's disciples questioned Jesus' rise in prominence, and John took that moment to explain that true joy comes from glorifying Jesus, the Son of God.

As you examine John 3:25-36:

 

✞   Note that John understood that he was the messenger, not the Messiah.

✞   Recognize that believers lift up Jesus and humble themselves so that He gets the glory.
