Matthew 18:7-14

The stakes in the kingdom

God the Father views each follower of Jesus as being priceless and of eternal value. Understanding the high net worth of every disciple will have a profound impact both on the way we see ourselves and on how we behave toward others. On the one hand, as Jesus’ disciples, we are spiritual losers—we can bring nothing to the party. On the other, we are heavenly treasures, of absolute value to the Father.
