Matthew 18:4 - People's Commentary (NT)

Matthew 18:4

2 Then Jesus called a little ^achild to Him, set him in the midst of them,

3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, ^aunless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

4 ^aTherefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 ^aWhoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

Jesus Warns of Offenses

6 ^a“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For ^aoffenses must come, but ^bwoe to that man by whom the offense comes!

Matthew 18:4

Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child. This explains the great feature in which they must become as the child. Greatness in the kingdom is not secured by seeking to be greatest. There is a lesson here for Christians, and especially preachers who are ambitious of distinction.
