My next column is up at MWR, Who is the greatest? This one looks at Matt. 20:17-28, just before Jesus gets to Jeruselem, when the disciples are ticked at two of their own for wanting a high place in the upcoming kingdom (which they still think is going to a political one).
So Paul took his stand in the open space at the Areopagus and laid it out for them: "I'm here to introduce you to this God.... He doesn't play hide-and-seek with us. He's not remote; he's near. We live and move in him, can't get away from him!" ~Acts 17
