Let’s see how
Jesus answers this one in Matthew 18...
‘Jesus called a little child unto Him and set him in the midst of them’
‘Jesus called a little child unto Him and set him in the midst of them’
What did He then
say?...“Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not
enter into the kingdom of heaven”
Notice how Jesus
goes on to teach that...- All children are precious
- Our souls are precious
- My brother is precious
- Our gathering in His Name is precious
In other
words, be careful pursuing your brother over some trespass! After all - how
much have you been forgiven?
Only 490 times?
Only 490 times?
(Does He
really mean for this to be a pattern on how to dis-fellowship people from the Church?
The
Church did not even exist when He said: “...tell
it unto the ekklesia”)
By the way, did
you notice what Jesus thinks of people who entrap, trip up, entice (Gk: skandalizo) little children?
Better that they had a concrete neck-lace then thrown in the drink!
So after all
that....
Who
is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
The King of kings, of course!
The King of kings, of course!
