Faith
The search for meaning, purpose, and relationship. Our need for love compels us to seek it out, and when we find it, share it.

Jesus sounds off on the people who aren’t getting with the program. Is this like our own complaints, or is it something else?

In teaching his followers to not just protect the “little ones, but to be them, Jesus is offering us a way of seeing how we fit into our own ministry.

The thing about greatness is that we use it to diminish as much as praise, to reward exploitation rather than engage with reconciliation.
