by Mrs. Phylis Boak on piano. The
sermon topic was “A Different Sort
of Greatness’’ based on the scrip
ture reading Mark 9 (30-37). In this
passage, the disciples were disput
ing on who, among them should be
the greatest. Jesus said to them “If
any man desire to be first, the same
shall be last of all and servant of
all.’’ Many of us today consider the
qualities of greatness to be pres
tige, power and respectability,
whereas Jesus teaches us that one
of the keynotes to greatness is our
willingness to serve others. The
second quality of greatness is the
ability to be like a child in many
ways. Children are more receptive,
open, with a willingness to learn.
They have a simple trust accepting
simple answers and taking words at
face value. In this way God wants
us to trust Him and also to be
obedient to him as a child obeys his
parents. Jesus said “truly I say,
those who receive not the kingdom
as a child may not enter it.’’ Let us
try to pattern our lives after Jesus
knowing his great love towards
children and his willingness to
serve others, Rev. Ramirez said.
