" But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves."(Luke 22:26)
Who's the greatest? Seems to always be the question. Sometimes it can be a discussion about a certain field. But sometimes it can be in house too. There is something within our nature that wants to be the greatest, the most powerful, etc. And yet the reality is that everyone can't be the greatest.
Jesus reframes what it means to be the greatest. That power and authority isn't measured by what you can do, but by how you work with others. The greatest leaders might be those who know how to not draw attention to themselves. It is counter intuitive for sure.
It is hard to be great when you're to busy trying to be the first in line all the time.
Blessings,
Ed
