Not Necessarily What You’d Think
There’s an old story, maybe apocryphal, of the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali once arguing with a flight attendant over having to wear a seatbelt. “Superman don’t need a seatbelt,” he reportedly said.
Her retort? “Superman don’t need an airplane. Buckle up.”
It sounds like it might be true based on his habit of telling anyone who would listen (and that was everyone at the time) that he was, in fact, “The Greatest.”
Interestingly, nowhere—not even in this week’s Gospel—does Jesus ever criticize a person for pursuing true greatness or true significance. I think that’s because he actually created us to be great and to be significant.
There’s only one way to achieve these, however, and it’s not necessarily what you’d think.
See you Sunday.
