The Bullet of Leadership: True Greatness

Never before has there been such “a time for greatness” as now. Man’s problems, opportunities and challenges are multiplying at an alarming pace. There must be a passion in the heart of each of us to be great in every area of our life’s responsibility. Horace Mann’s advice is for all of us who seek the best: “If any man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, and he will find both.”

Jesus Christ showed us the way to greatness as no other person who ever lived. He served! He lived His commandment, “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant” (Luke 22:24-27). Make no mistake, Jesus wasn’t a door mat to everyone’s selfish whims but served the best interest of all as guided by pure love. His service was controlled by God’s wisdom of what was best for man and not by man’s ideas of what he “felt” he needed.
