And a final couple of paragraphs from 'i am not but i know I AM' by Louie Giglio.

The writer is telling about John the Baptist, who had a huge following and ministry prior to Jesus. John knew who he was and he knew who HE is:

"There's someting pretty powerful about knowing who you are -- and knowing who you're not. Because John knew his name was I am not, he was free from --

** the seduction of fame;

** the tyranny of comparison;

** the delusional current of self-deception;

** the never-ending scramble to the top the heap;

** ego;

** jealousy;

** backbiting;

** a massively swollen head.

"And he was free from the ultimate rip-off----holding onto the starring role in a tiny story that was quickly vanishing from view."
