Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

William Shakespeare is attributed with having penned the words, "Some are born great, others achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." The English playwright's famous quotation simply mirrors the fascination that mankind has always had with "greatness" and with those whom society deems to have achieved it during their lifetime.

However, the question must be asked, "What is true greatness? How can it be measured, and how is greatness identified in the life of an individual?"

Christ's Evaluation of True Greatness

In Matthew chapter eleven, the Lord Jesus makes a statement that is found nowhere else in the Word of God and one that He would attribute to only a single individual during the course of His earthly ministry. Christ said of John in Matthew 11:11, "Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than [he]..."

Never before and never again would the Lord verbally express such a high appraisal of any man. With this fact in mind, we as Believers would be wise to desire to learn just what it was that made John the Baptist such a "great" man in the estimation of the Lord.
