In chaos theory, a field of study involving mathematics, physics, and economics, the "butterfly effect" is where a seemingly insignificant catalyst causes major effects. The name comes from the legend that the flapping of a butterfly's wing can cause a hurricane.
Whether or not this is true is something for the theorists to decide. However, in Christianity, we may never know how true this is until we get to Heaven. We have our greats in Christian circles: the Pope, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Billy Graham, and the like. However, we may find that people we didn't expect have the positions of most honor – the lady who volunteered at the homeless shelter, the man who gave his last $10 to help a little child in need, the boy who prayed for his classmates every night. As Jesus said concerning John the Baptist, "the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he" (v. 11).
