Good morning,
Can you imagine how embarrassed the disciples were when Jesus asked them, "What were you arguing about on the road?" They had actually been squabbling in Mark 9:30-41 about who was the greatest. And this is not the only time it happened. At least they were up front about it, not just playing mind games like we do.

So, we do well to remember Jesus' visual lesson to them on how a servant really is in first place. "He put a child in the middle of the room. Then, cradling the little one in his arms, he said, 'Whoever embraces one of these children as I do embraces me, and far more than me—God who sent me.'" (The Message)
God truly values and rewards servant-hood. Welcoming children gives an embrace that Christ so appreciates.
Blessings,
Ouida
