A Humble understanding

As the John the Baptist charged his disciples to go meet the Savior they inquired of the Saviors identity as it related to the many revelations they had heard concerning his mortal ministry. If I put myself in the shoes of those two disciples I think I would of reported back to John 3 things:
1. How difficult it was to approach him because of the multitudes of people surrounding him.
2. I would of described the look of joy upon the faces of those who had been healed.
3. I would of attempted to express the joy I felt from finally having the opportunity to hear the voice of the Messiah.
It seems evident and consistent that John charged his disciples to seek out the Savior in order to afford his disciples the opportunity to see, hear, and identify the promise messiah. By doing so, these disciples could develop their own testimonies of the promised Christ.
John was regarded by the Savior as the greatest prophet to ever have lived. Joseph Smith enumerates the facts that gave John such a position. John was went forth wirth the power of Elias and prepared the Jews for the ministry of Christ. He was also honored with mission of Baptizing the Savior. Lastly, he was the lone administrator of the ordinances of the priesthood at a time when the Mosaic law was at its pinnacle of corruption.
Perhaps the most scintiallting feature of John the Baptist was his unfailing humility toward his mission. John exemplified perfect understanding of that mission as he uttered "He must increase, but I must decrease." As prophesied by his father, John came forth in the power of Elias to prepare the way for the Savior. This is in reference to an ancient tradition in which servants, or runners, would go before their King and clear the path the King was to travel. In every way he could, John cleared the path for the Savior's ministry, and once that mission was completed John deferred to the Savior.
As I consider John's example, I hope to serve with that same humility and  understanding. I hope that I will always defer to the judgment of those I am serving.
