Aim: To make strides toward our true splendor in Christ.
Why gaining a great heart is worth the effort: because God's people are royalty, and because the world needs superior souls.
Exegesis: Three attributes of the great heart: it lives above the world's ways (vv. 15-17); it lies below the world's hearts (vv. 18-20); it takes the lead in the world's concerns (v. 21).
Further application: How to acquire the great heart: abandon mediocrity, for Christ; stare down fear, for Christ's glory; aspire to heaven's standards, for Christ.
Key verse: v. 20 ''But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.''
