John 3:22-36
John the Baptist's Testimony About Jesus
22After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized. 23Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were constantly coming to be baptized. 24(This was before John was put in prison.) 25An argument developed between some of John's disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial washing. 26They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified about—well, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him."
27To this John replied, "A man can receive only what is given him from heaven. 28You yourselves can testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ but am sent ahead of him.' 29The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. 30He must become greater; I must become less.
31"The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. 33The man who has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. 35The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. 36Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."
Questions:
1. John said,"He must become greater; I must become less." How has Jesus become greater in your life?
2. John testifies about the truth of Jesus, do you find it hard to share about Jesus with people?
3. Do you believe that, "whoever believes in the Son has eternal life?" What brought you to this truth?

1. People should see Jesus in us. I was drawn to Christ when I saw real Christians act like Him.
2. I love sharing my testimony but sometimes I find it hard sharing my faith. I can't seem to get into the conversation. God has done so much for me. How can I share it?
3. I believe that Jesus rose again and that He has a place for us with Him in heaven. One point that really made me believe in the resurrection of Jesus was that if the apostles hide the body of Jesus they would not have died for a lie. Many of the apostles were martyred. Would you die for a lie. I did not think so.
