who's # 1

Matthew 18

1 About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked,

"Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"

  2 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them.

3 Then he said,

"I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.

4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

  5 "And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.

6 But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin,

it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.

Think about that today...

In a day when we follow many Christian “leaders” who priss & preen, promising prosperity &/or political clout, maybe we should remember these words of Jesus.
