– Great People are Humble
before God
The
Least Ones – A True Story
“What do you think you’re doing? Don’t bother Jesus
with your children. He’s tired! So
shoo!”
Saddened mothers and
disappointed little ones turned slowly away. All day they had talked of meeting
this wonderful Jesus. What it would be like to see
Him eye ball to eye ball and be the one to sit upon His lap.
“I guess you have to be big and important
before Jesus notices
“I thought He was
different” added another.
“Well He’s not! Jesus is
like all the other grownups who say children should be seen and not heard.”
The
rest of the story
An angered Jesus arose
from His rest and put his disciples in their place.
“Don’t you know anything?
Don’t you understand value? These little
ones are the heart of my kingdom. You must become like them. Bring them to
me…now!”
The disciples hung their heads in shame while Jesus opened His arms and called the
children.
And they came—running!
They looked into the kindest eyes they
“Jesus, let me sit on your
knee.”
“Jesus, I have a loose
tooth.”
“Jesus, I love you!”
Jesus, my cat is sick.
Please pray for her.”
And the King of kings had
the time of His life. He was in His element.
Each mother cried a few
tears as the Savior commented on God’s greatness in her little shining star.
The
fatigue was gone. Jesus was refreshed.
He is King—Creator—God. He
is
returning soon to defeat the devil and shut the mouths of the wicked.
And yet, one of His
greatest moments was His time with the small, the weak, the helpless, and the
humble—the ones who knew they
"Truly I say to you, unless you
are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of
heaven.”
Matthew
18:3
Dear Lord, I am grown but
on the inside I am still a child in great need of You. I come to you now as a
little one and humble myself before You. I NEED YOU!
