As I realized today, we have less than three weeks left before we leave for Honduras and as I studied Matthew 18, the phrase, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven” stood out to me. I think sometimes, even with the best of intentions, we look at ourselves as superior when preparing to go to what we consider a third world country. But what makes us so great? Christ says that it is one who humles himself before Christ and comes with the innocence of a small child who will be the greatest in the Kingdom. As I prepare I am remembering the number of little ones that professed their faith in Jesus Christ and the joy that that had because of it. I am therefore humbled by my often complaining heart. Who is the greatest? As long as I am in the Kingdom, it doesn’t matter if it is me.
