“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. The definition of greatness: humility like a child. The child's humility is not primarily psychological naïveté but social status — children in the ancient world had no status, no voice, no standing. The greatness that the kingdom recognizes is the greatness that embraces the position of those who have no position.
