We can receive many forms of encouragement and motivation from the Ministry of John the Baptist. The Bible tells us that he was a man sent by God. He lived a pure and humble life in front of people and he had the purest motive to Glorify God. He said of Jesus Christ – He must increase, I must decrease – I like that!
