Matthew 18:1-4, “At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And He called a child to Himself and set him before Him and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in heaven.” So many times, we turn a blind eye to our failure to trust fully in God. We want to blame others. Take the spotlight off our sins and point it in the direction of someone else. It is at these times we fail to see what God is showing us. To be humble enough to know our help comes from God. That help is often displayed by a spotlight. Instead of trying to avoid the spotlight, we should use it to examine ourselves. Are we in line with God’s plan in our life? A spotlight shifts the focus from others to us. It is a way God uses for us to see things that may be hidden from others and humble ourselves before Him. It allows us to see everything in the space around us. This chapter in Matthew, Jesus tells His disciples who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Those who humble themselves as a child. He tells us not to be a stumbling block to others. Rejoice when one who is lost is found. To forgive those who sin against you. Seventy times seven we are to forgive someone. When we are in the spotlight how do we see ourselves? Do we see ourselves as a child who needs the Father to guide us? Does our heart have forgiveness to others? De we rejoice when one is found who has strayed? Or do we forget about God’s forgiveness of our sins. Matthew 18:27-28, Jesus says, “And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and forgave the debt. But the slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred Denari and he seized him and choked him saying “Pay back what you owe.” When God’s spotlight is on you, examine yourself and remember these verses. Seventy times seven. Are you keeping count? If so, you are forgetting the ten thousand times God has forgiven you.
