The You EffectHalimbawa

How do you define greatness? We usually don’t equate being great with being a servant, but that’s exactly what Jesus is doing here. According to Jesus, being great has nothing to do with being the smartest, most athletic, or most popular. Instead, He gives us all a pretty simple formula for greatness: Serving others. If anyone wants to be a leader or someone of great influence, they have to learn how to not make themselves the point. 

In other words, being great is learning to make others look great. Today, make a list of some ways that you can serve others around you. Take one step to pursue one of those opportunities and serve someone else this week. As you do, remind yourself of Jesus’ words: Your greatness grows alongside your willingness to serve.
