What happensPermalink
Jesus says the greatest in the kingdom of heaven are like children. He tells the parables of the lost sheep and the unforgiving servant. He discusses how to restore relationships in the church by working as privately as possible at first and only later bringing in other parties.
Why it mattersPermalink
Jesus again turns the world upside-down, saying that humility and trust, like an infant, are the qualities that matter in the kingdom of heaven. Peter immediately brags about his ability to forgive, and, as usual, Jesus tells him the work is harder than he can imagine.
Key versePermalink
“Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
