So, not everybody says this.
In the Old Testament there are people who are examples of what is good. And it can help to read and pray about the good examples of people in the Old Testament. Just saying they are greater is not what we need, I would say. But talk about how someone is a good example for us to follow.
Also, doesn't Jesus say not to worry about being greater than someone else? And what does Jesus say is great? How does Jesus say to be great?
Be humble, simply obey God, and this is great. And Jesus has us loving any and all people. This is great.
