Commentary on John 3:28
John reminds his disciples of his own teaching: 'Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.' They should have known this—John had consistently denied being Messiah and defined himself as forerunner. He references his earlier public declarations. True teachers remind students of fundamental truths that prevent confusion. John's identity was always preparation for another.
