Reflections with Andy - Luke 9: 46-48 - True Greatness

In Luke 9:46–48, right after Jesus speaks of His coming betrayal, the disciples argue about who among them is greatest—a striking picture of human nature. Jesus responds by placing a child before them, showing that true greatness isn’t found in power, rank, or recognition, but in humility and in welcoming the least and overlooked. In God’s kingdom, greatness is measured not by status or wealth—what the world treasures most is as ordinary as pavement in heaven—but by service, love, and grace. Real greatness is found in following Jesus with humility and lifting up those society ignores.
