I read today’s passage in the New Living Translation and picked up something:

John announced: “Someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—
so much greater that I’m not even worthy to stoop down like a slave and untie the straps of his sandals.”
-Mark 1:7

Jesus said that John was great in Matthew 11:11

Specifically, that he was the greatest man ever born of a woman.

But John knew that Jesus was so much greater.
And that’s what made John great.

Remind youself and resound in your mind today:
Jesus is so much greater than any difficulty you’re facing today.
He’s so much greater than the pleasure of any sin you’re considering.
He’s so much greater than any other ambition you could pursue.

To truly be great, never forget that He is so much greater.

And He is able to do FAR MORE than you can ask or imagine. There is NONE greater than Jesus. No wonder we are His followers!
