That happens a lot.ġ At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 He called a little child and had him stand among them. Pride and ambition were getting in the way of seeing the truth. They figured that when Jesus rose from the dead, it would be time to establish the new Kingdom, and they were worried over what position each of them would have in the new order of things.Īlways thinking of themselves. They were still thinking about a material Kingdom here on earth. This got the disciples thinking about the Kingdom of God that Jesus taught about. Leading up to this passage Jesus had been teaching the telling the disciples about the things that were going to happen, that he would be betrayed, and was going to suffer and die, and be raised to life on the third day. Jesus used a child to teach His disciples. We spent a lot of time this week teaching the kids about God, but we also spent a lot of time this week learning from the kids. So the message this week became about the Children and who they are, and what they are about. Then I realized that I had been soaking in God’s Word this week with the Kids at VBS. A good message is kind of like coffee, I study God’s Word and soak in it all week and the message percolates in my mind. VBS – I have spent a big part of my week here with the kids and working on VBS, and I was a little worried about having the time to really immerse myself God’s Word for our Message this week. ![]()
