Greatness and Love

 

To be great is to rely on your own strength, own power and own wiles with a self-serving self-seeking and self-important love. That is the wisdom of the world. But that is not true greatness. It isn’t even really love. So what is greatness?

As ever Jesus overturns the wisdom of the world (including alas some in the church today!)... Matthew 20:26-28 "It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your servant; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

That is biblical greatness. That is biblical love in action. Go into this week determined to serve others selflessly so that others may see Jesus in however you serve other people.
