He took a little child whom he placed among them.

Taking the child in his arms, 

he said to them, 

"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me."

Mark 9:36-37 NIV

In that culture small children had no voice, 

no choice,

no power.

Jesus bent down.

Down to this child's level, and either stayed there, or scooped the child up into his arms.

Jesus said if you want to be great in my kingdom, in my economy, then see those who are small, 

see those with no voice, 

bend down,

and hold them, 

scoop them into your arms, into your life.

Welcome them in, in Jesus name (not even for our own honour) and in that, we will discover, uncover, find, the wonder of the upsidedown kingdom.

Jesus did it for us.

He bent down & scooped us into His arms...
