What did Jesus say about him and the message?

Jesus does say to follow him.

Yes indeed, but I think there is a valuable qualification along these lines, I'm sorry if I am not remembering well or have it totally wrong, but if it is so, perhpas someone can recognise it.

Mark 10:17-27
New American Standard Bible
The Rich Young Ruler

As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do so that I may inherit eternal life?” 18 But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’"

And he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth.”

Looking at him, Jesus showed love to him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

But he was deeply dismayed by these words, and he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

"Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together."

Matthew 24


Esoteric verse

I think that you are thinking of when John the Baptist told his disciples that he must decrease and Jesus must increase.
In the same manner, the Holy Spirit always leads and points to Christ, never Himself.

John 3:30
