I knew I had him in the first round. Almighty God was with me. I want everyone to bear witness, I am the greatest! I'm the greatest thing that ever lived. I don't have a mark on my face, and I upset Sonny Liston, and I just turned 22 years old. I must be the greatest. I showed the world. I talk to God everyday. I know the real God. I shook up the world, I'm the king of the world. You must listen to me. I am the greatest! I can't be beat!
These words were spoken back in 1964 by the man then known as Cassius Clay. He later changed his name to Muhammad Ali. Many years later he modified his statement to say "Allah is the Greatest. I'm just the greatest boxer."
It is an interesting question as to who is the greatest - in boxing, in football, in other sports; or in science or business or whatever. In Matthew 18:1 this sort of question is raised and to it Jesus gives a striking answer and an important conclusion.
