‘I’ must decrease

Morning: Psalm 38; Genesis 9:18-29; Hebrews 6:1-12

Evening: Psalm 119:25-48; John 3:22-36

John the Baptist’s famous statement about Jesus, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” is about us, too. The New Testament carries the news that Jesus is the sign, in human flesh, of the Love that created, and is at work in, the Cosmos. The New Testament also teaches that if you ‘lose’ yourself (read … let go of your ego) you will find yourself. So, if our dreams of a better world, and a better ‘me’, are to come to fruition … My ego - which often opposes the Way of Love - must shrink, and Love expand.
