John 3:28-30

(John the Baptizer is speaking) “You yourselves can testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ but am sent ahead of him.' The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. He must become greater; I must become less.”

I don't want people to see me - I want them to see Jesus.

John knew that he was the messenger, not the message.  It is important to avoid raising ourselves up or putting ourselves in a position to be raised up by others.  We are not the focus.  God is the Good News.  We are His servants and we are to operate in such a way that He receives all the glory.
