The Meaning of Greatness in the Bible
David Kaywood
Christian Living
What is the meaning of greatness in the Bible?
Let’s say you’re in a classroom and it’s the beginning of class. The teacher asks, “If you desire to be great, please raise your hand.” Would you raise your hand? I’m sure you would. And I’d follow your lead. The problem is, though, many of us have the wrong definition of greatness because worldly influences have plagued our minds. So the real question…
Unlike wealth, greatness isn't inherited. It's achieved because somewhere along the line, one was given an opportunity and ran with it.
