Matthew 18:1 KJV
At the same
time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom
of heaven?
What a
question!
These are the
men who will one day be the foundation for the Lord's church. These are the men
who walked with God every day and yet, in personal times together their concern
was which one got to be the greatest.
That this was
an obviously errant concern becomes apparent by the Lord's teachings that
follow. And that the spirit of much of today's Christians is off track,
concerned about greatness and who has it is obvious from the offerings of most
Christian periodicals.
The issues that
ought to concern us and those the Lord offered to them in response to their
question are much different:
- Child like faith
- Avoiding offences
- Seeking the lost and
- Forgiving others
