The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.
An unadulterated child loves without reservation, and keeps no grudge. He/She sees the beauty of the world, and enjoys a lot of fun. He/She is free from worry and drugery of the world, and he prays to God like He is a very good friend, like He is just in front of him/her.
