So many people and corporations forgot their original vision and values that made them successful when they grew big and powerful and ended in failure. That was not so for John the Baptist. Despite his increasing popularity, he never lost sight of his mission - to prepare the way for the Savior. He continued to raise Jesus up. John 3:30. “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
Let's see it from Luke 3.
In this present time, while we await for the return (2nd Coming) of our Lord Jesus Christ, we should behave like John the Baptist too. Preparing for Christ's 2nd Coming - Let's be John ...
Lessons:
Despite his popularity, John did not grow proud and forgot his mission - preparing the way for Jesus. He pointed the people to Jesus.
John is just the spokesman. Jesus would be doing the real work of salvation of mankind by his sacrifice on the cross.
1. When we become successful, do we forget our 初心 original beliefs, values, and attitudes?
2. How do we prepare for the return of Jesus? In the same way as John the Baptist --- Point people to Jesus.
