Jesus' ministry parallels and surpasses John's. a) Jealousy and competition (v.22-26) b) Humility (v.27-30) and greatness (cf. Luke 7:18-25 key Luke 7:28). John humbled himself and Jesus exalted him c) Jesus is above all (v.31-36). We must decrease. It is not about us. It is all about Him. Jesus must increase until everything is under his feet and everyone confesses that He is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
