As humans, we have a perennial tendency to focus on ourselves. We are all hungry for glory, and can try to put ourselves in the spotlight instead of Jesus. And John the Baptist's words in John 3:30 help us to see this sneaky tendency we all have—our longing for greatness—and put it in its proper place. John understood who he was, and he understood who Jesus was, and that made all the difference. Join Natalie Abbott, co-founder of Dwell Differently, as she unpacks the context of John 3:30 for us today, helping us see the starting point for our humility, and how dwelling on the true greatness of Jesus is the antidote to our struggle against focusing on ourselves.
