Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
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 )
