WHO? Me?

TODAY'S READING: 1 Chr. 14,15; Ps. 132; Mt. 18

SCRIPTURE

Matt. 18: 1-5 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" [2] He called a little child, whom he placed among them. [3] And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. [4] Therefore, whoever takes a humble place—becoming like this child—is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. [5] And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

OBSERVATION

It's just like Jesus isn't it. The disciples ask Him one question and He answers another, or does He? The disciples ask who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven and Jesus put a little child in front of them and tells the disciples who gets into the kingdom and how.

APPLICATION

Steps to the kingdom
1] "YOU" must change
2] "YOU" must become like little children.
3] "YOU" must take a humble place
4] "YOU" must welcome others with the same heart.
