"Greatness"
In any number of realms of life, “aspiring to greatness” is seen as a good thing, a goal, something we should want to do. What does true greatness actually mean, though? And does our identity as Christians – as followers and (hopefully) disciples of Jesus Christ – change how we pursue it? As we continue walking along with Jesus and his disciples as told by the Gospel of Mark, some striving ambition on the part of James and John provokes some of Jesus' strong teachings on what greatness should be for us, as well as what Jesus' life and work means for us.
