Greatness defined:
You can gauge the size of a ship that has passed out of sight by the huge wake it leaves behind.
–Philip Yancey
In line with this idea, Yancey provides this quote from H. G. Wells:
“More than 1900 years later, a historian like myself, who doesn’t even call himself a Christian, finds the picture centering irresistibly around the life and character of this most significant man…. The historian’s test of an individual’s greatness is ‘What did he leave to grow?’ Did he start men to thinking along fresh lines with a vigor that persisted after him? By this test Jesus stands first.”
Have you considered the greatness of Jesus?
Have you allowed the huge wake He left behind to impact your life?
