The late & great Muhammad Ali famously quoted, “I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was.” This he said not in a manner of ego or boasting, but to build up his own self-confidence.
Around the squared circle, before the bell rings, a lot of promotions are produced & mental warfare is had. Ali utilized this phrase & many others to gain a mental advantage on the opponent. His philosophy was simple: If you speak something long enough, not only will you believe it, others will too.
Well before the days of Muhammad Ali, the conversation of “Who’s the Greatest?” actually occurred during the life of Jesus in Matthew 18. Then there were carnal conditions that determined “the greatest” but Jesus held an entirely different philosophy.
“Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” - Matthew 18:1. What was the Messiah’s philosophy? How does this impact humanity & believers today?
