The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. — 1 Corinthians 15:41

There's a difference in glory among the saints, like stars of varying brightness. But here's the twist: greatness in the kingdom comes through humility, not comparison. The disciples argued about who was greatest, and Jesus set a child in their midst. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Christ Himself emptied Himself, taking servant form, and those who shine brightest are those who reflect His humility — they'll shine like the stars forever.
