Here Comes the Groom

In John 3:27-30, John the Baptist emphasizes the importance of finding joy in recognizing one's role in God’s plan. He clarifies that a person can only receive what is given from heaven and asserts his purpose as the forerunner of Christ, the Bridegroom. John illustrates the joy of fulfilling his function: listening and waiting for the Bridegroom’s voice, fully content to step back so Christ may be exalted. This passage invites us to reflect on our roles, the significance of humility, and the pure joy that comes from serving God's greater purpose.
