It only took me part of three days to read because I enjoyed it so well. It made me consider how well I am investing myself in the ministry of Jesus Christ my Lord.

John 3:22-36 - The early ministry of Jesus and the later ministry  of John ran concurrently, which caused some questions on the part of John the Baptist's disciples. From My Study Jason Roberts
