Our culture has a fascination with debating about greatness. Who are the greatest athletes of all time? The greatest leaders? The greatest artists? In Mark 9:30-37, Jesus completely redefines greatness for His disciples past, present, and future. Whoever wants to be great and first must be last and servant of all. And Jesus will demonstrate that these are not just talking points, but they are the shape of His very life and mission which culminates with the cross.
