Who is the Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?

Being great in the Kingdom is equated to your humility, not your accumulated status or goods. You have to depend on Jesus, the same way a child does on its parents and be teachable as a child is to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. You must be open, caring, obedient and loving as a child is.

The Lost Sheep and Restoration of Broken Relationships

If you leave the 99 sheep and to go after one, then what about the security of the remaining 99? Jesus thinks its worth it for all to be reclaimed. Often we get lost in the multitude than the one who is lost. If someone sins against you, don’t air their dirty laundry on social media or to the whole world. Go to them privately and restore them.

Unlimited Forgiveness

Forgiveness should be limitless and a ready response or course of reaction to an offense. God forgives us so many times. We should be like our Father in Heaven and do the same to others who offend us. Jesus is after our hearts and changing them, so don’t just forgive, but forgive from your heart. Stand up for the injustice of other people as the fellowservants did in verse 31.
