Lowarchy

The other night at Bible Study... we were talking about how Jesus welcomes the little children and rebukes the apprentices for pushing them away.  In that day, children were not very high on the totem pole!  They were marginal members of society.

That led into a conversation about how in our world we mostly operate under and build hierarchies but in Jesus kingdom, he constantly invites us to the lowarchy!  Consider this... "the first will be last and the last will be first"... "the greatest is the servant of all."... "humble yourself".

Jesus constantly invites us to set aside our visions and schemes for heirarchies and instead recognize that all people are created in God's image and are dearly loved by him and in God's kingdom there is no such thing as heirarchy.
