He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”

How do you welcome anyone in Jesus’ name?

Welcoming anyone in Jesus’ name means doing so without personal prejudice, preference, or principles. However, it can also extend much further than that.

“Welcoming children in Jesus’ name” implies that we are representing His truth and love by embodying those qualities ourselves, especially towards those who are weak or less privileged than us.

This principle applies to every aspect of our lives, from beginning to end. In everything we do and every person we encounter, our aim is to act not according to our own principles or desires, but to become a true representation of our Lord Jesus.

Today, let’s strive to live our lives as a pleasing offering, even in small ways. This is how we welcome our Father in heaven.
