Then there
arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their
heart, took a child, and set him by Him, and said unto them, Whosoever shall
receive this child in My Name receiveth Me: and whosoever shall receive Me
receiveth Him that sent Me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall
be great. Luke, Chapter 9, verses 46-48.
Being a
“Self-righteous Christian” too many times to mention, this passage reminds us
that we shouldn’t get caught up in determining how great we are for all the
good things we do in God’s Name. That
isn’t what it’s all about. God says, “For he who is least among you all, the same
shall be great.” I need to make sure
that I’m focused on living the life God wants for me rather than trying to look
pious to others by attaining religious status.
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
