Matthew 18: Who Is the Greatest?

“Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” -Matthew 18:4

Jesus measures greatness by humility.

We are only truly great when we truly live a life of service to others.

We are called to meet the needs of others; not only living to meet our own needs.

Jesus knew this, taught this, lived this, died for this, and rose for this.

As he has said, “Go and do likewise.”
