John was the one who was to prepare the way for Jesus (and that's really all we find out about John in Mark. He goes through everything so fast - we go from John, to calling the disciples to casting out demons in 28 verses!)
I've always considered myself a John though. I'm not the main guy. I'm the one who prepares the way for the main guy. I'm not the one who is going to lead a bunch of people (although I guess John did have disciples), but I will help the person who is going to lead a bunch of people.
Actually, now that I think about it, there have been times when I've been the main guy. Running the homeless shelter, commissioner of the fantasy league, Tennis Club, Summer School - those things have gone pretty well. Maybe I am the main guy some times. Maybe, like John, I can prepare the way for some and be the guy for others.
