“And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.”
Matthew 18:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 18:5
Jesus declares that receiving 'one such little child in my name' equates to receiving Him. This elevates humble service to the overlooked and powerless as spiritual priority. The phrase 'in my name' signifies doing so for Christ's sake, seeing Him in the insignificant. Reformed ethics emphasizes that all service to others, particularly the weak and vulnerable, is service to Christ (Matthew 25:40). This teaching demolishes status-seeking by making humble service the measure of greatness.
