What Happens As a Christian Magnifies the Lord John 3 DATE: 21 Jan, 2001 PM PLACE: BBC Blarney
I. Introduction (John 3:23-36, 30)
A. Introduction: In Matt. 11:1, Jesus said that
“among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.” One of the reasons for his greatness, I believe, was his attitude, expressed in our text, when he said of the Lord Jesus, “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
B. That was not only a statement of the transition
between the ministries of John and the Lord, but it was also a statement of John’s perception of his Lord and of himself.
C. The Psalmist wrote by inspiration of God, Psalms
34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
II. Message - When Jesus
