Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

1 The disciples came to Jesus at that time. They said, 'Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?'
2 Jesus called a child to him. He had the child stand in front of them.
3 He said, 'I tell you the truth. If your hearts do not change and become like hearts of children, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.
4 So anyone who feels himself small like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 'If anyone takes in a child like this for my sake, he takes in me.'
6 'These little children believe in me. If anyone makes one of them do wrong, he will be punished. He will have worse trouble than if a big stone were tied to his neck and he were thrown into the deep sea. (Matthew 18 : 1 - 6 )

ASH WEDNESDAY | what is ash wednesday in the bible

ASH WEDNESDAY | what is ash wednesday in the bible Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. Its official name is "Day of Ashes," so called because of the practice of rubbing ashes on one's forehead in the sign of a cross. Since it is exactly 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter Sunday, it will always fall on a Wednesday- there cannot be an "Ash Thursday" or "Ash Monday." The Bible never mentions Ash Wednesday-for that matter, it never mentions Lent. *Lent* is intended to be a time of *self-denial*, *moderation*, *fasting*, and the *forsaking of sinful activities* and habits. *Ash Wednesday* commences this period of spiritual discipline. *Ash Wednesday* and *Lent*are observed by most Catholics and some Protestant denominations. The Eastern Orthodox Church does not observe Ash Wednesday; instead, they start Lent on "Clean Monday." While the Bible does not mention Ash Wednesday, it does record accounts o...

A new Beginning

A NEW BEGINNING 1. Be with people (Mark 1:1-8) God’s ultimate plan to save the world was about to be fulfilled through his own son, Jesus Christ. John the Baptist was supposed to prepare the way. John the Baptist was there with the people. The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went to meet John the Baptist. They were open about their life, and even ready to be baptized by him. Though John was dressed in an unusual manner, the people came to him. John was with the people. People need help. They want to talk about their life, hurt, ill-feelings, struggles to forgive, and most of all forgiveness of sin from God. As a disciple, we should imitate John, i.e. being with people. A disciple’s lifestyle should be surrounded by people. 2. Be in step with the Spirit (Mark 1:9-13) After Jesus was baptized, he received the spirit, which descended on him like a dove. God was excited about his son, as we see he openly declared his love for him. The scripture say...
