Context for John 3:30

(John 3:23-36 KJV)


(23) And John also was baptizing in AEnon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. 

(24) For John was not yet cast into prison.

(25) Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying. 

(26) And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

(27) John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

(28) Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. 

(29) He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. 

(30) He must increase, but I must decrease. 

(31) He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. 

(32) And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. 

(33) He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. 

(34) For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. 

(35) The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 

(36) He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Dear Lord,


We understand that you will never be big enough in our lives. We pray that you will always increase in our lives. Give us a heart of flesh so that you can perform your ministry work through us. May your name be magnified in our lives so that the world may know that you came to this world in the flesh to shed blood for our sins and was resurrected on the third day. 


In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

TWO PATHS – TWO FRUITS - TWO ENDS

It presents a path that ultimately leads to destruction ( Psalm 1:1 ) and a path that ultimately leads to a life where the “ leaf also shall not wither ” (Psalm 1: 2-3). In life, these two paths leads to two different types of fruits. The first (and righteous path) leads to fruit that is acceptable to God that derives from the abundant “ rivers of water ” springing forth from Christ at Calvary ( Psalm 1:3 ).

Primary Goals

1.) The first primary goal is to bring non believers to a saving knowledge of Christ.  “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” ——Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV) 2.) The second primary goal is to encourage believers to look forward to eternal life and fellowship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and encourage them to give out the gospel. “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” —-I Thessalonians 5:11 (KJV)
