The Greatest Servant - Rodney Snyder
Description
Text- paraphrase of Matthew 18
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of God?
Jesus called to Him a child, and put
him in the midst of them, and said,
'Truly, I say to you unless you turn
and become like children, you will
never enter the kingdom of heaven.
'Whoever humbles himself like this
child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven.
'Whoever receives one such child in
my name receives Me.
