35 The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
John’s disciples were HIS. He had great influence over them.
When John had opportunity to point directly at Jesus to those he had influence over, he took it!

Crucify your desire to use that influence for your benefit!
Point at Jesus whenever He gives you the opportunity!
