Who is Jesus? The Bridegroom
Series John
John 3.22-36 Who is Jesus? The Bridegroom
We learn about who Jesus is and how we're to follow Him
from comments made by John the Baptist.
A. WHO WAS JOHN THE BAPTIST?
A man sent from God [1.6-8]
A man who got people's attention
A man who got the attention of the religious leaders
A man who always pointed others to Jesus [1.23, 29, 35-37]
A man who understood his own place in God's plan [1.32, 34]
A man who was hard at work doing God's will [3.22ff]
B. WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM HIM?
- Live in the consciousness of God's grace [27]
A man can receive nothing
unless it has been given him from heaven.
- Live with a clear sense of God's plan and purpose for your life [28]
You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,'
but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.'
- Live a life characterized by real joy in serving Christ [29]
He who has the bride is the bridegroom;
&nbs p; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him,
rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice.
So this joy of mine has been made full.
- Live a life permeated with an attitude of genuine humility [30]
…I must decrease.
- Live a life with the constant aim of glorifying Jesus Christ [30]
He must increase…
