Greatness in Receiving the Lowly

Luke 9:46-48   
46 Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest. 47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a little child and set him by Him, 48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great.”

Greatness in God's eyes is not about self, but serving others and their importance.  Just as children were insignificant in Jesus' time, so He said to show them as valuable was to see His value.  We serve God in serving others, seeing their value as God does.  This servant humility is true greatness, not accolades from others.
