![The man [who] is greatest and most blessed and joyful [is one] whose life most closely approaches the pattern of Christ. This has nothing to do with earthly wealth, power, or prestige.

He is the right way, the full truth, and the abundant life.](/assets/img/quote-photos/the-man-who-is-greatest-and-most-blessed-and-joyful-is-one-whose-life-most-cl.jpg)
