"He Must Increase, But I Must Decrease." Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

"He Must Increase, But I Must Decrease."

Rating: 5.0


When we consider
the many ways that
John bore witness of Christ,
we understand why he
was compelled to write,
"He must increase, but I must decrease."

Although John received
great acclaim as God's prophet,
after 400 years of prophetic silence,
John was under no illusion
that Jesus must become
increasingly important
while he was to become
of less and less significance.
