Jesus turns the world upside down with a new idea of what God’s world looks like. The last will be first, and it’s all about serving others. As Jesus explains it, the power of the kingdom of God is completely opposite of how the world understands power and why he uses the example of a child. Children are among the most vulnerable and powerless members in society, but those who welcome and serve people without power here on earth exhibit the power

that is commended in the kingdom of God.
