A little boy walked out into the backyard wearing his baseball cap and carrying a ball and bat. "I'm the greatest hitter in the world," he said. Then he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed. "Strike One!" he yelled.

He picked up the ball and said again, "I'm the greatest hitter in the world!" Again, he tossed the ball into the air, and again he swung at it and missed. "Strike Two!" he cried.

The boy looked at his bat and ball, straightened his cap and said again, "I'm the greatest hitter in the world!" A third time he tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it. He missed again. "Strike Three!"

The little boy picked up the ball, looked at it, and cried out in a loud voice, "I'm the greatest pitcher in the world!"

There was a man named John, John the Baptist to be exact…and everyone was more than willing to assign to him greatness.

There was no doubt he was very popular or that people would travel miles to hear him speak…but when people began to think that he might be the prophesied Savior ...

He did say “I’m NOT the greatest.” Indeed, he embraced clarity and set things straight.

“I am not the Savior. I am not Elijah or one of the prophets come back from the dead.” He said it every way he knew how.

He kept assuring everyone that he was just a man who had come to tell them about the coming Christ. “The one who is coming…why, I’m not even worthy to unbuckle his sandals,” he said.

Greatness. We get delusions of grandeur sometimes and when we do it behooves us to think of what true greatness is…and to think long and hard and deep on the greatness of Jesus, the Son of God.

And to give thanks for His coming, humbly on our knees.
