He must increase; we must decrease.

For those who are following along online with the Sunday Morning Ladies Bible Study at Tully’s Coffee, this week’s study is on John 1:6-8; 15.

We are using Piper’s sermons on this passage as a guide. The corresponding one for this week can be found here.

John had been a confusing book to read because it seemed, as Piper pointed out, to be random and hard to follow with the interjections of John (the author) repeating over and over that John the Baptist was a witness. Piper offered an excellent explanation and application, and also helped me to understand and appreciate why John wrote the text the way he did.

Please let me know what you think of Piper’s points :)
