Matthew 18:1 - At that time the disciples came to him saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
We really do have an obsession with being the best and the greatest. Trump is that tendency taken to the extreme, but we all have it in us. This kind of thinking leads to idolatry. Not to mention, judgmental. Because, truly, there is only one answer to this question and asking it shows they have really not been paying attention. They seem to think, as we often do, that we are as good or as great as God. We put greatness in God's place in our hearts.
We focus on our own status over the joy of God's presence. Lord have mercy.
