The Path to True Greatness - Richard F Plache & David R Ord - April 1975

Richard F Plache & David R Ord

All of us are dedicated to service. If there's one thing we never tire of, it's serving. We just love to serve - ourselves, that is! We like others to serve us too. We are born with this tremendous desire for service. From the day we enter the world, we want to be waited upon and served. If allowed to do so, children would reduce their parents to servile slaves. The world evaluates greatness by the degree of service a person receives. The more important one is, the greater the number of servants, butlers, maids and secretaries. Human nature aspires to be great. It wants to be served. What Is "Greatness"? People look upon service as the way to become great. Then, once you are great, you can then be served. Human beings will often do just about anything in the process of working their way up the ladder to greatness. But once great, look out! The greatest human being who ever lived - Jesus Christ, to whom belongs "all power... in heaven and in earth" (Matt. 28:18) - brought an entirely new concept of greatness to this earth. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
