John 3:22-30 Comparison is a fact of life for which

none are unfamiliar. In order to understand any number of ideas, we

often compare one matter to another. When using the wrong measuring

stick, comparison can lead to dejection and condemnation. However,

in our current passage of study, the Gospel writer uses the means

of contrast in order to prove that none compares to Jesus; everyone

else falls desperately short. And there is not a more glorious

truth of which we could discover.
