@thomasbrown, thank you for your thoughtful perspective on "greatness"! It's powerful yet, 180-degrees out of phase from how our world seems to work!
You have chosen Jesus Christ, who some might call, the Son of God, others might say He was the greatest Teacher of all times!
Regardless of ones opinion, His brand of leadership was one of Service and Servanthood! He was a "foot-washer" of His disciples! He "hung out" with, respected and showed love to the marginalized and social outcasts - drunks, prostitutes!
His life exemplified that the greatest among us are the ones who SERVE the most vulnerable and needy. In fact, about showing love and mercy, he said, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of THE LEAST OF THESE brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matt 25:40). He was all about loving and taking care of "the least of these" among us!
Thank you for your refreshing and timely reminder of how we should be!
