Luke 9:46-48 — “Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me…for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.” The disciples were arguing over which one of them should be the greatest in the Messianic Kingdom. Their idea of greatness was shaped by the world around them and by their own fallen humanity. Jesus knew what they were thinking and so He took the opportunity to address their misconception and teach them about true greatness. He did so with a simple object lesson and some very profound words.
