Read Mark 10:41-45.
1. Greatness is possible, but it is not automatic.
2. Greatness is not exclusive (as if only one can be great) but it is elusive (since people prefer position and title over function).
3. Greatness is both counter-cultural and counter-intuitive. There is too much emphasis on rights and not enough on responsibility and opportunity.
4. Greatness requires stopping comparison so that division is eliminated.
5. Greatness is highly inconvenient.
6. The difference among "great", "greater" and "greatest" is the degree of service you are willing to do and the amount of people to whom you are willing to provide it. The "cap" on your "greatness" is you.
7. Greatness is not mental but menial. Greatness requires service. Service is about action, not intention.
