Jesus Redefines Greatness: RRE 18
Religion Ruins Everything Daily 9.28.16
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:1–5 ESV
Jesus didn’t scold them and tell them they didn’t need to be great. Jesus redefined what greatness is so they would understand greatness in the kingdom of Heaven.
As parents we teach children to become less and less dependent on us, but as we grow in Christ, we become more dependent on him.
