Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in
my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For
he who is least among you all-he is the greatest.”
The common theme
here is that what we as a world generally ascribe to: that those who have the
most money, power, religion, fame, etc…are the greatest, but in the eyes of
Jesus, according to his words above, those who are generally considered least
among us are greatest. Those who have
much will have it all taken from them because it’s not about the stuff. It’s
not about the power; it’s not about the fame or how much you know about God or
how well you think you practice religion; it’s about your heart, your motives,
your love for God and others. What do I
hear Jesus saying again and again….His love comes from a place of grace, not
works. His love is unlike any other a human being can express or really even
fully understand, where the least of us are the greatest, where being a humble
servant is more important than being popular and powerful. His love, His grace is bigger than we are.
