" Today, just as in Jesus’s day, greatness means power, position. It means people serving me, and Jesus says a resounding, “No!” As an old Puritan prayer says so eloquently, we need to learn to pray: Let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess all, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown.9 "
