When You'Re Least You'Re Great - Luke 9: 46-48

We are like Jesus disciples
thinking we are all  great
but Jesus corrects our thinking
showing up our sinful state

Jesus says to receive a child
in doing so in His name
you're also receiving His sender
for it's His purpose that He came

So now if you want to be great
you must be among God's least
the very least indeed says He
whether you're from west or east

God calls those to be great
who profess to be humbly meek
putting others always before themselves
living like Jesus whom they seek 

AUTHOR NOTES: 
Who Is the Greatest? "An argument arose among them as to which of them 
was the greatest. But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a 
child and put him by his side and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in 
my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For 
he who is least among you all is the one who is great.” Luke 9 vs. 46-48
