Summary
Jesus redefines greatness as Christ-like service, not worldly power or position. Through the contrast of the mother seeking prominence for her sons and the blind beggars seeking healing, Jesus teaches that true greatness means humble servanthood and dependence on him, not achievement of status.
Highlights
Christ-like service is Christian greatness.
You don't come in here bringing God your strength and your best effort hoping that he shows up and gives you something. You come in bringing your weakness and saying, 'Okay, I got nothing, God.'
Greatness isn't something you do, it's actually a person. It's Jesus. And when we pursue Jesus, we actually find he is great for us.
