Write the SuperVerse, including the reference, on the board.

Our SuperVerse, John 3:30 (nkjv), says:

“He must increase, but I must decrease.”

I think we can say it by memory already: let’s try! Children say verse.

John wanted to prepare the way for Jesus. As Jesus’ ministry grew, John’s own ministry and influence would shrink. Yet he was not jealous; instead, John told his followers,

“He must increase, but I must decrease.”

Let’s do an activity that represents the verse.      

Stand in a large circle, with everyone holding hands. Everyone should take two steps forward as they raise their hands and say, “He must increase”; then everyone should take two steps backward as they lower their hands and say, “but I must decrease. John 3:30” Repeat, going faster each time.   

Conclusion: The goal of every follower of Jesus is to become more like Him in our thinking, in our words, and in our actions. The more we become like Jesus, the more we can lead others to Christ.
