—Matthew 18:1-9; Mark 10:15

What prompted the disciples to ask who was the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven? Their pride seemed to be getting the better of them, with each one wanting to be the greatest. Little has changed with us, the current-day disciples. Our pride often dictates our actions and words. However, we must change (repent, turn from our wicked ways) and become like children (not the sarcastic, rebellious 21st-century children, but the innocent, loving children in the Bible) to enter the kingdom. Being the greatest in the kingdom is not about status; it is about the condition of your heart and mind.
