Greatness Adds Nothing to Comfort
Matthew 18:1
At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?…


It is but a fancy, and a vain one, to think there is most ease and most content in worldly greatness, or that we sleep best when our pillow is highest. Alas! when our affrighted thoughts shall awake each other, and our conscience put forth her sting; when those sins shall rise up against us, by which we have climbed to this pitch; all the honour of the world will not give us ease.

(A. Farindon, B. D.)
