Who Is the Greatest?

Sep 22, 2024  •  The Rev. Billy Cerveny

Arguing on the road about who is greatest, the disciples fall silent when Jesus asks what they were discussing, and he answers by taking a child in his arms. Biblical pride, traced to the serpent's lie in Genesis 3, is the rebellion of writing our own meaning, as odorless as the gas leak the preacher once lived with for weeks. In Christ we are the child he gathers, and so free to welcome the overlooked.
