The Greatest in the Kingcom
Jesus’ disciples (not unlike us) were very concerned with the question, “Who is the greatest?” In nearly every area of life, we try to determine and assign greatness. Consequently, it makes sense to ask, “What actually makes a person great? Is is skill, ability, wisdom, spirituality, or self-discipline?” Jesus’ answer to these questions—and the person he exalts as an example of greatness—is still shocking 2,000 years later. (Scripture: Matthew 18:1-6)
