Jesus' followers asked Him, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" They were looking for status and recognition. Undoubtedly, His answer would have surprised them. He placed a child before them to illustrate the change in thinking they needed in their lives. They needed to abandon self-centeredness, self-glorification and self-gratification. Instead, they needed to embrace dependence on God, selflessness and service. How does Jesus define people who are great in the kingdom?
