WHERE TRUE GREATNESS LIES

(Christ The King)

 

We ALL want to be=THE BEST=in the world=at what we

Do=and we want to=Be RECOGNIZED as such=It is a

SOURCE=of great PRIDE=to be the best=at what we do=

The best athlete=the BEST baseball or football player=

 

The best policeman=or fireman=Teacher=nurse Doctor=or

Minister or priest=But we NEED to ESTEEEM to a HIGHER LIFE=

That is=WHERE THE GREATNESS LIES=”MY KINGDOM=does

Not belong to this world”                                                                                                                     John 18:36

 

Our Holy Father God=Our Savior Jesus=asks us to LIFT

Our minds HIGHER=to ascribe to=A higher source of LIVING=Just like

Our Jesus=Just like OUR CHRIST THE KING=”For this is what=the

High and exalted One says=-------He who lives forever=whose name is

Holy=’I live

 

In a HIGH and holy place=but also with the one=Who is contrite

And lowly in spirit=to revive the spirit of the lowly=and to revive

The HEART=of the contrite’”                                                                                                                     Isaiah 57:15      

 

Don’t get me wrong=IT IS GREAT=To have success on earth too=to

ACHIEVE worldly success=But it is even better=to FOLLOW the

Footsteps=of the ONE who was=Who is Jesus Christ=WHERE THE

GREATNESS LIES=Jesus=the one=who is TRULY GREAT=the ONE

Who set the EXAMPLE=with his self-sacrificing love=Jesus=”Great is the Lord=

And Most worthy of praise=HIS GREATNESS=no one fathom”                                                       Psalm 145:3

 

“Who is this=Robed in splendor?=Striding forward in the GREATNESS=

Of hi strength?”                                                                                                                                               Isaiah 63:1

 

THE GREATNESS of Jesus=in HUMAN self-sacrificing love=It is

SHOWN ON THE CROSS=where Jesus shows his TRUE GREATNESS=

THE CROSS=where Jesus gives himself up=for ALL OF HUMANITY=Ask

Yourself=do you want to be TRULY GREAT TOO?=Will you give

Yourself up=for others?=That is where true greatness lies=WHERE

THE GREATNESS LIES!

 

“For it is the one=who is least among you=who is THE GREATEST”                                             Luke 9:48

 

“And now these three remain=Faith=hope=and love=but the GREATEST

Of these is love”                                                                                                                                    1 Corinthians 13:13

 

NEVER give up=ON YOUR DREAMS=to be SOMETHING GREAT=for

This world=Jesus didn’t=and he ESTABLISHED a CHURCH and a love=that

Will last=UNTIL the end of time=for all of eternity=WHERE GREATNESS LIES!

It is IN=CHRIST THE KING=it is in self-sacrificing love=it is in

GIVING YOURSELF UP for others

 

“But go and learn=What this means=’I desire mercy=NOT SACRIFICE’=For

I have not come to call the righteous=but sinners”                                                                           Matthew 9:13

 

TRUE GREATNESS=is seen IN=the giving up of yourself=for

Someone else=Just like Jesus did=GREATNESS lies in THE CROSS=

Greatness is=CHRIST HE KING!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of OUR FOREVER LIVING=and

Forever loving=Holy Father God=THE GREATEST=WHOEVER LIVED!
