John The Baptist's Humble Ministry
from A.W. Tozer Talks Hosted by Phil Shappard
In the message, "John The Baptist's Humble Ministry," pastor and author A.W. Tozer points to John the Baptist as a beautiful example of humility, a man who was content to step aside so that Christ could become greater in the eyes of others. He warns how easily jealousy, rivalry, and self-promotion can creep into even sacred work, and reminds us that whatever gifts or opportunities we have are ultimately given by God. The heart of the message is John’s simple confession, “He must increase, but I must decrease”—a warm invitation to let Jesus become more central in our lives while we become less concerned with being noticed ourselves. 3-14-1954 This sermon was delivered on March 14, 1954 at Chicago's Southside Christian and Missionary Alliance Church.
