He Must Increase
John 3:22-36
Last week we ended by asking the question “How do you know you are born again?” As you have heard me say time after time, the answer to many of our questions can usually be found in the passage immediately preceding or following the passage we are currently reading. I hope and pray that this week we will not only know, but understand this question and more importantly the answer. How do you know you are born again?
This week’s passage opens up with Jesus leaving with the disciples and going out into the countryside and baptizing people. John the Baptist is also baptizing people at Aenon near Salim. The reason they are baptizing here is because there is much water here. One doesn’t need much water if you’re only sprinkling, do you? But it is here that a discussion breaks out between a Jew and some of the disciples of John. It is a very important discussion, one more of us should engage in. It is a discussion about purification. How is one made pure? Here is what we have read about purification so far in John.
1. The first sign of Jesus was turning water into wine. The water was held in purification jars.
a. These were used for ceremonial washing as you would enter the house.
2. Jesus “cleansed” or purified the temple of the money changers and oxen and goats and pigeons.
3. Jesus says that one “must be born of water and Spirit in order to see the kingdom of God.” Rev. 21:27 says nothing impure will enter it.
4. What is John doing?
a. Baptizing, ceremonial washing, symbolic of the washing away of sin.
5. What did Jesus just get done explaining to Nicodemus?
a. You must be born again.
Here is what we must know and understand;
We can “cleanse” and “purify” ourselves on the outside all we want, it does not and can not cleanse and purify what is in the inside. Only when what is inside has been cleansed and purified, do the outward actions have any meaning. Here is an example;
Facebook – We can put all the little status updates we want about how much we love Jesus, but when we also put up the pictures of what we did last weekend or we also have our tarot readings, or the last time we went to church to worship Him whom you claim to love, it diminishes the significance of your claim. My favorite lately is how when we carry out Bible Satan cringes in fear, etc. Sadly for many, Satan laughs at you. Outward works do not purify inwardly. They are filthy rags. How about we try this; Husbands set yourself to make Deut. 6 real in your life and in your family’s life. Wives, Proverbs 31. Acknowledge Christ and strive for these.
John’s disciples missed this truth. I find it interesting though how a discussion that began about purification turns and breaks down and becomes about how Jesus is gaining more popularity. He is stealing the crowd or sheep if you want to sound more Biblical. This disciple is outwardly focused. John is Christ focused.
John’s Response
1. John 3:27-29; Even the crowds are a gift from God.
2. John 3:30; Christ must be exalted, man must be humbled.
3. John 3:31; All things are under Him and He has all authority.
4. John 3:32-34; His word is TRUTH. Jn. 3:11-12, 17:17
5. John 3:35; All things have been given to Christ. He has all, not everything but…..
6. John 3:36; The inward work of Christ and the spirit is shown through the outward. True belief is demonstrated in the obedience to the Son.
I asked last week “how do we know if we have been born again?” Answer: If you believe and obey. There is also something present, joy. Read what John says in verses 27-29 again. It is also given. Receive it. Rejoice over it. Obeying Christ and His commands brings joy to the believer. But also, being born again is demonstrated by this; “He must increase, but I must decrease.” Christ continually becomes more prominent and preeminent in our life. If he hasn’t become more, if he hasn’t increased, what is he to you then? This also needs to be repented of. Unfortunately, if this is you, Christ will be exalted, he will be lifted up, he will honored and glorified, he will increase whether you like it or not. Scripture tells us how at His name every knee will bow and tongue confess that he is Lord. You will be humbled, brought low; you will decrease through no doing of your own.
Friend, there is one last question left to ask this morning. If you were to be convicted of sin by the Spirit and the Word, how would you deal with it this morning? Let me beg you to not simply try to wash it away on the outside. Let Christ forgive and wash the inside. Here’s what so many do; they are convicted but go away simply feeling sorry for what they have done. They feel bad. They have not confessed to God nor repented of their sin and have no intention of obeying. They are not born again. They have made up their mind that they can wash it away on their own. It is much like the criminal who only feels bad because they were caught, not because they see their crimes for what they truly are. Also do not believe that merely quitting a particular sin is equivalent to repentance. Just because you quit it does not make you pure, only the blood of Christ can make you pure. Forgiveness and righteousness can not be found outside the blood of Christ and his redeeming work on the cross. Here is the good news though; he has done it for you. Will you believe? Will you confess? Will you repent? Will you obey? Will you let him increase?

sermon notes
Cleansing the Temple
John 2:13-25
While it can be assumed that by their confessions of whom Jesus is in Chapter 1; John the Baptizer, Andrew, and Philip are not credited with belief yet here in Scripture. However, there are four times that belief is spoken of. The first is when Jesus asks Nathanael if his hearing Christ say he saw him under the fig tree was the cause of his belief. The second is when Jesus turned the water into wine at the wedding feast and the disciples believed. The third and fourth instances take place in today’s passage. The third is in John 2:22 when the disciples remember Jesus’ words and Scripture and believe. Fourth, many people see the signs of Jesus and believe. Now as my children would tell me, “Daddy, there’s a pattern!”
Look at these four moments in the early ministry of Christ. Jesus spoke; someone believed. Jesus performed a sign; someone believed. Jesus spoke; someone believed. Jesus performed signs; many believed. I would like to remind you of a passage we looked at in Hebrews not too long ago, Hebrews 2:3-4. “How shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and attested to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.” We discussed at that time, how we have a tendency to expect big signs. We expect large miracles. We feel that we deserve the greater gifts. And this is all while we miss the gift of salvation in a new creation’s heart. We miss the miracle of rebirth. We miss the sign of the Spirit baptizing one of Christ’s own. But let us not forget the purposes of the signs and miracles and gifts. Let us not forget the purpose of the message through the Scriptures and Word’s of Christ. They are intended that you may believe; and by believing you may have new life, eternal life; life with God Almighty through Jesus Christ His Son.
We have spent much time discussing belief. I will admit, I have done a rather poor job of communicating this. Yes, we have the knowledge of who Jesus is. Yes, we have the knowledge of what God has done. Yes, we have the knowledge of the cross, the resurrection, ascension, and how one day Christ will return again. This is so true in the case of those who do not believe Christ. But Christians, let me ask you this morning, “Does what you believe in your mind, affect how you live during the day?” For those who have either just made this commitment to follow Christ and for those who have made that decision years ago, it ought to.
What we believe ought to affect how you live. It ought to drastically change something about us. How does darkness become light and go unnoticed? We are supposed to be a new creation. We are supposed to turn away from sin and turn towards God. We are supposed to live in the world yet separate from the world. What we believe is what sets us apart! There are things that a Christian just simply does and does not do. But for too many, when we hear God’s Word, when we hear how we ought to live as Christians, we roll our eyes. We sigh and brush it off. We get defensive and point out the sin in others. We would rather offend God than possibly hurt someone’s feelings by being Biblically honest with them. And when it comes to the Bible, it must not apply to many for they disregard what God says because it just doesn’t work that well in today’s world. Then we sit and scratch our heads and wonder why people don’t take us too serious as Christians. And as far as young legalistic, zealots like myself, evidently trying to do what the Word of God says must be a futile waste of time because so many, much wiser people have told me it is way too hard. But on the upside, it has its easy parts; let’s face it…sin is easy.
Oddly enough, the world and the people that Jesus ministered to were the very opposite. He dealt with people that instead of growing apathetic and lazy in their religious pursuits, they became overly legalistic and fell away. Many today are prideful of their lack of activity; they were prideful in their over-activity. That is very much what is going on when Jesus walks into the temple this Passover week. Most of us know the story;
I. It is Passover
a. Exodus 12, Numbers 28, Deuteronomy 16
b. Year old male lamb with out blemish.
c. For fourteen days they would take it into their home.
d. They would kill and eat it.
e. They would sprinkle the blood on the door posts of the house so the “destroyer” would pass over.
f. Ex 12:13 I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you.
II. Jesus enters the temple
a. He makes a whip of cords.
b. Drives out the money changers and other vendors
c. He drives out the oxen and sheep, the object of sacrifice.
i. Rules concerning the poor and sojourner Lev. 25:35-38 Ex. 22:21
III. The Jews want a sign
a. They knew how God worked. He spoke and there were signs.
b. Jesus tells them he will tear down this temple and raise it up in three days. He was talking about his body and the resurrection.
IV. His Father’s house, the temple, the bride, the church, you are the temple.
Do you think that God is zealous for you?
Do you think that He is consumed with zeal for you?
V. Many believed but Jesus did not entrust himself to them.
a. He knew what was in man. In other words, he knew the heart of man.
VI. Our hearts are overtime working sin and idol factories.

Notes for tomorrow
“The Wedding Feast”
John 2:1-11
The Main Points of the Passage
1. Jesus, his mother, and the disciples were invited to a wedding.
2. They ran out of wine.
3. Jesus and his mother have a rather cold exchange.
4. She informs the servants to do what he says.
5. The servants fill 6 purification jars with water and when they draw some out, it is wine.
6. The master of the feast is amazed.
7. The disciples believe.
The Obvious – Water into Wine
Many of us know the passages of scripture that deal with the use of alcohol, both acceptable and unacceptable which is not the focal point of any of today’s message. But have you ever looked at the number of times wine is present during celebrations through out the Bible? Wine is symbolic of God’s blessings being poured out upon His people and is used to celebrate those blessings. Here’s what we know from this passage.
1. They had wine there at the wedding.
2. They ran out of wine which would be of great embarrassment to the bridegroom.
3. Jesus turned the water into wine. This is because He is not only celebrating this marriage, but blessing it as well. Why would Jesus bless this marriage? Because He is the one who ordained marriage.
Marriage Biblically
1. Genesis 2:18 – Man needed a helper. God gave man one.
2. Genesis 2:24 – For this helper, man will leave his father and mother and they will become one.
3. He will HOLD FAST to his wife.
a. This is why we do not covet our neighbor’s wife. Exodus 20:17
b. This is why we are to rejoice in the wife of our youth. Proverbs 5:18
4. Ephesians 5:21-33
a. Wives are to submit as the church submits to Christ.
b. Husbands love as Christ loved the church.
c. Marriage is a picture of Christ and the church.
Now I want to look at the first 7 points of this passage again.
1. Jesus, his mother, and the disciples were invited to a wedding.
a. John 3:16, Acts 2:21
2. They ran out of wine.
a. Man’s efforts fall short. Romans 3:23
3. Jesus and his mother have a rather cold exchange.
a. Jesus has left His mother for His bride. Genesis 2:24
4. She informs the servants to do what he says.
a. Mary and the servants are submitting as the church should. Ephesians 5:22
5. The servants fill 6 purification jars with water and when they draw some out, it is wine.
a. We are to be purified. 1 John 1:9
6. The master of the feast is amazed.
a. Not that Christ is shocked, but pleased. Matthew 25:21
7. The disciples believed.
a. I was amazed at the amount of times Jesus talked about belief. 51 times in the Gospels, he uses the word belief. Usually by asking “Do you believe?” or saying “You do not believe.”
Jesus is still asking “Do you believe?” Jesus is still convicting “You do not believe.” But what are we to believe? We passed over an important aspect of marriage. Yes, we discussed submission but not sacrificial giving. Jesus Christ gave himself sacrificially for you and for me. Paul in 1 Timothy 4:6 and Philippians 2:17 references how is feels as though he is being “poured out as a drink offering.” Another important function of wine in the Bible is as a drink offering. It would be poured out over the altar as yet another sacrifice to God. I can’t help but picture Christ on the cross. As the spear went through His side and the water and blood sprayed from the wound (John 19:34), He was our drink offering poured out upon the altar of the cross. He was our bridegroom sacrificing all for his bride.
According to John, this was the first of Jesus’ public signs. Sometimes this is lost as we read this passage. I have to ask, if this is the first, what is the last? Listen to what John writes in the Book of Revelation.
Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
the Almighty reigns.
7 Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his Bride has made herself ready;
8 it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure”—
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
9And the angel said£ to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”
Revelation 19:6-9
And
Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
Revelation 21:9
Friends, Jesus asked many people if they believed. Do you believe? “These words are trustworthy and true…” Revelation 22:6
John 2:1-11

Sunday's Notes
Andrew and Phillip
John 1:34-51
After the initial reading, the passage this morning appears rather blah and unimportant. I mean, all that really happens is Andrew and Phillip leave John the Baptist and follow after Jesus. Andrew brings Peter to Jesus. Phillip brings Nathanael to Jesus. Nathanael has something smart to say and gets called out for it and suddenly believes Jesus is the Son of God. That makes for a good, clean and tidy lesson. But there is far more than just this in the passage. What I would like to do this morning is to simply point out the similarities in these two passages and also point out the differences and hopefully God will reveal more of Himself to us through it.
The similarities
1. One could argue that both Andrew and Phillip were disciples of John. (John 1:35)
2. They both spent the day with Jesus. (John 1:39)
3. They both brought someone to meet Jesus (John 1:41,45)
4. Jesus has a conversation with Peter and Nathanael. (John 1:42, 47-51)
The differences
1. Andrew evidently stayed with Jesus. (John 1:41)
2. Andrew refers to Jesus as Messiah (John 1:41)
3. Peter does not question Andrew.
4. Jesus changes Peter’s name. (John 1:42)
5. Phillip left Jesus. Jesus went looking for him. (John 1:43)
6. Phillip refers to Jesus in relation to Moses. (John 1:45)
7. Nathanael questions Phillip. (John 1:46)
8. Jesus’ conversation is much different with Nathanael.
The one whom Moses wrote about?
I want to put this into the context of how Christ was portrayed to the people of Israel. Their understanding came from the writings of Moses and the other prophets. Some of us may not understand all the prophecies but they are there. I spent this past week in Isaiah and even the chapters that are not considered Messianic passages the references are all over the place. But this is specifically referring to Deuteronomy 18:15-22, “the one whom Moses wrote about.”
Can anything GOOD come from Nazareth?
Matthew 2:23
Mark 10:17-22
I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe?
What is Jesus really asking here?
Why are we so easily satisfied with just a little bit of God in our life?
John 1:34-51
