Three Pictures of Greatness

In the sports realm, it is common for aficionados to discuss and debate the topic of “GOAT,” the acronym for Greatest of All Time. Whether it be basketball, football, or baseball and a host of others, the debate is endless and always subjective to a certain degree. Perhaps that is why, as I read and reread our text of Mark 12 this week, I landed on the theme of greatness. In three sections of this chapter, our text is very clear about what is great and what constitutes or exhibits greatness. My hope this week is to learn what these examples mean for us.
