An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.” (Luke 9:46-48)
Jesus of the Way,
When your friends argued about power and prestige you stood someone unnoticed by them and spoke of welcome. You spoke of humility.
You spoke of the value one has that is not based on power, but merely because of their humanity.
When we are tempted to believe power is what will bring forth your kingdom, teach us that power for us is not a goal for your kingdom.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done.
Amen.
