John was the Hearld of the Messiah. His role was simple, increase the awareness of the people of the coming Messiah. In the Gospel of John 3:30, John the Baptist says, "He must increase, but I must decrease," referring to Jesus Christ. This expresses John's understanding that his own role and influence were meant to diminish as Jesus' ministry and prominence grew. John’s statement reflects humility and the acknowledgment that Jesus must be exalted above all else. I am curious why Jesus had a herald, someone to prepare for him. Did Jesus need someone to prepare the people for the coming of the Messiah. The people had been waiting for centuries. I suspect that many prophets played an important role in supporting Jesus.
