Commands of Christ: 51
Become like children.
Pride is one of the most insidious sins. Jesus’ teaching here is in the context of His followers asking Him who (among men) was greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. Essentially, Jesus is saying the God is the greatest. It is nonsensical to ask who is greatest (among men) in the Kingdom. None is worthy. None has power in themselves. Only the humble can enter. Only those who recognize they are helpless can receive God’s power. We should rejoice in our relationship with the Lord and glory only in Him. The most humbly grateful soul is the greatest in the Kingdom.

About this Plan
Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
