Bond Slave Of Christ

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 4, 2017

The more deeply a person surrenders to Christ and becomes dependent on Him daily, the more likely they are to finish the spiritual race in victory. Early Christians described it with the metaphor "bond-slave." It's what we're supposed to be!

Kingdom Greatness

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 18, 2024

“Whoever humbles themselves like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. It is giving up claims to power and status and knowing one’s total dependence on God that counts as greatness in the kingdom of heaven.

The Greatest

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 12, 2013

The analogy of the child being the greatest in God’s Kingdom was completely contrary to the prevailing culture then and now. Imagine how His disciples must have reacted to Jesus then and how indifferent it is even today.

Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more
