The childlike answer?

"An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, 'Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all- he is the greatest.'"
(Luke 9:46-48)

"Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
(Mark 10:43,44)
