Who’s the Greatest?

Who’s the Greatest?

Ever wonder who is the greatest? In todays times and our current culture people might respond naming the greatest athlete. Other possible answers today could be who has the most money, the most power, greatest set of skills, best looking, most influential … and the list goes on. This is actually not a new question. People have been pondering this for centuries. Matthew 18:1 tells us, “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?””( NLT) None of todays possible answers would even come close to what Jesus said. Look carefully at the response of Jesus in Matthew 18:2-4. “Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.”(NLT) Let’s pause for a moment and let Jesus words sink deep within our hearts. We must become humble like little children.

If you Google the meaning of humble this is what you will find: having or showing a modest or low estimate of one’s own importance. Well folks, we have a lot of work to do. I can only name a few who demonstrate this characteristic.

This present society is all about ME, ME and more ME! Instant gratification, lust, pleasures, passions and having more is NOT God’s way. Let’s surrender today to Jesus Lordship over our lives! Let’s humble ourselves and become nothing, so HE can fill us and become our everything. Jesus loves you! Will you give Him your life today?
