GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM?


GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM?

"¶ At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"  Matt. 18:1 

 
That question was asked several times in the NT. Luke 9:46; Matt. 20:20; Luke 22:24. It seems that many want to be the leaders in the church. Christ put down that thinking by saying the church only has one Leader and His name is Jesus Christ (Matt. 23:10). And he who is the greatest is “whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt. 18:4). And the mother of Zebedee’s sons found out in Matt. 20:20 that “He that is able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am about to be baptized with,” (Vs. 22) will sit beside Me in the Kingdom. And the disciples in Luke 9:46 found out that the one that has the heart of a trusting child is greatest in His Kingdom. Christianity is not for wimps and He makes you strong to serve, not to lead.
