At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:1â€-‬6 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.18.1-6.NASBÂ
It is here that we see the Disciples concerned with who is the greatest in the Kingdom of God. It is funny how the human mind works. We become so focused on what is the best, what is great, what is the most powerful. 1 Corinthians 1:27 says, But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. As you see above it is the covnerted childlike faith of a child that is a precursor to inherting the kingdom of God. And we know from Hebrews 11:6 that without faith its impossible to please God. Allow the simplicity of the Gospel to bring peace and the joy of the LORD to your life. Grace and Peace Brothers and Sisters!
