John takes great delight that Jesus is now centerstage. He’s done His job. It’s no longer important who he is or what he has done. The only thing that matters to him is that people are coming to Jesus.

When we follow Jesus, we don’t just get a relationship with Jesus, and we don’t just get help from Jesus, we get to learn from Jesus. That’s why there must be a willingness in us to yoke ourselves with Jesus – to surrender to Jesus. For when we trust Jesus, Jesus entrusts His heart to us.

Our sin makes us equals at the foot of the cross. It is here where our sin is forgiven. It’s here we see ourselves in relationship to a holy God and humility is born.

We are linked to this same story… The same God who delivered Israel by His mighty hand is the same God who delivers us. God delivered us by the mighty hand of Jesus: Jesus came to rescue us from this present evil age.
