How do we know Christ is greater than John the Baptist?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is described as the bridegroom, highlighting His divine authority and position above John the Baptist, who is merely the friend.

In John 3:29-30, John the Baptist recognizes his role as 'the friend of the bridegroom,' illustrating that while he had a significant ministry, it was ultimately to prepare the way for Christ. Jesus embodies the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan and is the true bridegroom who possesses the bride, signifying His authority and preeminence. John’s acknowledgment that 'He must increase, but I must decrease' emphasizes the necessity of placing Christ above all, affirming His divine superiority.
