How To Be Great

Jesus turns His attention toward the crowd and confronts them with the questions of Who He is. He wants to induce a response within them. There is a mixed crowd and therefore mixed reaction. The passage reveals there are only two types of people in the world-- those who will be great because they accept Jesus as the Christ, and those who will not because they reject Jesus as the Christ. Luke pens this record to confront us with the same question-- Who is Jesus? Our answer will determine our greatness in the age to come.
