The Wrong Question...

Matthew 18:1-5 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. It's amazing how often the disciples and we just ask the wrong question. We live by comparision, wanting to know who is the biggest and best, while Jesus is thinking little. The greatest is the one who is thinking the least about his or her self. The greatest doesn't think of him or herself as the greatest, but things about others - about how to serve them and to share with them a relationship with God through Christ. The right question is not "how can I be the greatest?" but "Lord, how can I serve you today?"
