Misunderstood Greatness
from Hope Christian Fellowship Hosted by Hope Christian Fellowship
Many people throughout history have claimed to be ‘great.’ Names that come to mind are Catherine the Great, Peter the Great, and of course, Alexander the Great. A boxer claimed to be ‘the greatest.’ Each time, the understanding of greatness was based on the idea of domination, power, influence, and fame. That is our default understanding of what it means to be amazing as a human. As Jesus teaches the apostles, especially James and John, He confronts this idea and corrects it. True and eternal greatness is not defined by the things we generally assume make us great. Instead, Jesus points to different ideas, different responses, and a different economy surrounding what it means to be great.
