Do you want to be great? The proper answer inside the 4 walls of a church may seem more along the lines of “I want to be a humble servant” or “the meek will inherit the earth.” The way we talk about ambition and humility in the Church they would seem to go together like oil and water. But what if, to achieve greatness in God’s kingdom, the two need to be held in each hand? In Matthew 20 Jesus sees his disciples desire to be great, and the way he addresses them informs how we can walk in a healthy humility AND ambition to be great!
