“The little ones”
Jesus identifies “the little ones” as his disciples, as members of God’s family, as children of God.
It is in the little ones that we encounter God and the reality of God’s kingdom.
Then later in the Gospel According to Matthew, Jesus will identify “the least ones” as his brothers (25:40). Jesus teaches us that in serving “the least,” we serve Jesus himself.
And with humility, may we embrace being little because that is when we are children of God.
