Should it be more of Jesus and less of me?

Christians often believe they need to “decrease” in order for Jesus to increase in their lives. Maybe they think their “self” gets in the way of God’s plans. So, should it be more of Jesus and less of you? Actually, no. This is a misapplication of John the Baptist’s statement “He must increase, but I must decrease” in John 3:30. When John the Baptist uttered those words, he was referring to his ministry fading out, because the ministry of Jesus had arrived. God never intended those words to be twisted into a “more of Jesus, less of me” theology for today. Because we are new creations, we can be ourselves and fully express Jesus at the same time – with no conflict.
