I find it hilarious that the apostles are wondering which of them will be the greatest, when the one that was arguably the greatest apostle isn’t even among them yet. In fact, this man will soon enter the picture; but he will be their greatest enemy long before he becomes their greatest ally!
I can imagine Jesus looking at His guys at times like this and wondering how he ended up with these knuckleheads... Always debating and arguing about things they really don’t understand. Just like us.
If you asked most people that have even a passing knowledge of the New Testament, it is likely Paul’s name would come out as the ‘greatest apostle’. When these knuckleheads are arguing about which of them will be greatest, I’m sure it never occurred to them that it would end up being someone that wasn’t even ‘one of them’ yet.
Before getting too tangled up in the ‘what ifs’ of life, take a step back and talk to the One who created you and knows what’s going to happen tomorrow, the next day, and a thousand years from now. Don’t be a knucklehead!
