Who Is The Greatest?

Who Is The Greatest?


Read: Matthew 18:1-5
  
Before the disciples had asked Jesus the question, Jesus had taken Peter, James, and John up on a high mountain and they had met Moses and Elijah there. after when they came down and continued the discussion about who is the greatest among themselves, Peter, James and John boasted about themselves as they got a chance to meet Moses and Elijah on a mountain. 

People who are famous boast about themselves. For example, there is 2 employee in the office Jake and Aaron so Jake gets promoted to head of the department and he gets double the salary, so eventually, he will start boasting in front of Aaron. Here Jake is committing a sin by boasting and Aaron commits a sin by coveting. Proverbs 27:1 “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring”. 

According to Jesus, to be the greatest we must be like gentle, humble and not knowing what is evil. God loves Jesus because of his soft/humble heart. Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Look at the line 'for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.' Jesus says again that in order to be the greatest in heaven one should be like children soft and humble.

Let’s see Matthew 20:16 “so the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen”. In verse 4 Jesus says that a child is the lowest position a family, why? In a Nuclear Family, the father is the head then the mother and then the children, they are the last as they are the smallest. But, for godchildren are the first (Proved by Matthew 20:6). 

A person is not called a child by his/her age or personality but they are a child if they have a soft heart and are humble. So, we should try to be like a child. AMEN

Last Saying Of Christ: 7th Saying

Last Saying Of Christ: 7th Saying Read: Luke 23:46        Jesus's seventh word on the cross was  (Luke 23:46 ) And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, he said: "Father into your hands I commit my spirit .”   Here, Jesus is willingly giving up His soul into the Father’s hands, indicating that He was about to die – and that God had accepted His sacrifice. He “offered up Himself unblemished to God” ( Hebrews 9:14 ).   w hen we see Je sus die, we see two things: the  price paid  to bring us to glory; and the  example given  for how we are to get there. So let's learn from Jesus how to die, by focusing on  Luke 23:44–46 .  These were the final word said by our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. We have many lessons to learn from this; the first one is that "Death is a way to eternal life" this means that though he is going to the grave he will reign all eternity likewise when we die our bodies may go to the grave but o...

Gods Plan Is Much Greater Than Our Plans

Gods Plan Is Much Greater Than Our Plans Read: Isaiah 55:3       God has greater plans for us which are beyond our imagination. Isaiah 55:3 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.", says that God's thoughts and ways are not the same as our thoughts and ways but His thoughts are much bigger than ours as He knows and holds our future in His hands. If we allow God's will to be done in our life we will prosper. But if we deny it and go with our plans some or the other way God will bring us back to His plan again and from that moment, there is no turning back. In 2 Samuel 7, God made a covenant with David. But, David was feeling bad because the Ark Of The Covenant was in a tent and he was in a palace. So he had decided to build a temple of God to keep Ark in it. But God wanted David's son Solomon to build the temple. Do you know why God had rejected David to build the temple?  God had rejected ...
