Chapter Seventeen
The Bridegroom’s Friend
Our study on friendship with God would not be complete without looking at the man who is called the friend of Jesus. Read again these words of John the Baptist:
“He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:2930).
John had been preaching and baptizing for some time, and Jesus was just new on the scene. Crowds were starting to gather around Jesus, and so John’s followers asked his opinion of Jesus. This was John’s response as he described his relationship to Jesus. John likened Jesus to a “bridegroom” and himself to the “friend of the bridegroom.” Thus, in an indirect way he called himself the friend of Jesus.
Perhaps the following diagram of John 3:29 will help us understand this verse better.
