The pushing and shoving has already begun. Now that the nastiness of the political campaign process is over, the winners are now jockeying and maneuvering to be the greatest in the new government, to have the most power and prestige possible. That’s the way we do it here on earth.
But not in the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus said the greatest in His Kingdom would be those with the simplest, humblest faith. He said that each believer in His Kingdom would be personally loved and treasured by God, so much so that He would take it personally when anyone caused harm to any of them. He spoke in the strongest terms about how horrible it would be if we hurt ourselves by getting stuck in sin. In other words, Each of us who join His Kingdom by faith is precious. Our importance and significance is measured by this: we are important and loved by Him.
Therefore,
“See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.” (Matthew 18:10-14)
When you accept Jesus by faith, you are more than accepted by God. He receives you into His family. You are precious to Him, so much so, He will pursue you if you wander away. God is not willing that _____________________ (put your name in the space) ever be lost!
