The GOAT Prophet

Here's a twist of terminology you may not recognize if you're over 30: today, it's a good thing to be called a goat. That's right, G.O.A.T. is now an acronym representing the "Greatest Of All Time" -- who's the GOAT basketball player, Lebron or Jordan? Who's the GOAT boxer? Who's the GOAT DJ? Arguments and theories abound in every category. Only one thing is consistent across the board: there's something uniquely worthy of admiration and emulation from everyone nominated for the title.

Here at Light of the World, we're taking a Biblical view: who's the greatest prophet? The greatest disciple? The greatest disciple-maker? We're going to make a few educated guesses, and support our hypotheses with scripture. More than that, though, we're excited to dig into those qualities and attributes of GOAT-hood worthy of our study, learning how to better represent Jesus on earth.

Today's Scriptures: 1 Kings 17:1-16 // 1 Kings 18:1-2 // James 5:17 // Matthew 5:3-12
