Breen quote -

John was baptizing vs. 23

Jesus was baptizing

team work is a great

Proper process of purification with John's disciples and a Jew who prbably knew the rules and John's disciples didn't

these two had a discussion in the ESV, it is the word for passionate discussion, or better an argument or a dispute.....

And John explains in his answer

Heaven sends the results based on God given roles

I am not the Christ, as you have heard me say

(Illus. issue of consistent view of one's role and identity here)

I am part of the bride and can rejoice because it looks like my job has been completed - I can hear the bridegoom's voice....vs. 29

(Illus great deal of joy involved when you see your ministry bearing fruit according to God's plan)

TIme for me to decrease and for Him to increase vs. 30
