Here we have a dispute as to who is the greatest in heaven by the disciples.Now as strange as this might sound there are many today who belives that their denomination, Church,Choir,Pastor or Bishop is greater than the next denomination, Church,Choir,Pastor or Bishop.There are many who think that one part of the body is greater than another. But the truth is God is in heaven and there is none greater than Him.We must come to the realization that this life we have partaken of is not about us, or what we think.It is about Jesus Christ the greatest in heaven or on earth.
In reponse to this question Jesus emphesises that the one who is willing to forgive the most is the greatest.True greatness lies in our ability to live a Christ like life.We must love inspite of, and be willing to forgive those who spitfully use us.But the only way we can do this is to be converted. To turn our whole life and person from our sinful ways to the ways of God.This is the true biblical picture of conversion. We must beborn again, to become as little children,as a newborn spiritual child,in total dependance on the Father.We must come in faith and humility as little children seeking all needed provisions from our Father to be His children.
The little child represents a new born again believer,and to receive one of these is to receive Christ Himself.But woe unto the soul that rejects Christ at His coming, for our true greatess lies in Him.
