Matthew 18:5
And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
What it says
Welcoming a child in Jesus’ name counts as welcoming him.
What it is doing
Welcome to the small is treated as welcome to Jesus himself.
In context
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2Jesus invited a little child to stand among them. 3“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
