{ One Hundred Fifty-Two }

"A child has no influence at all. A child cannot advance a man’s career, nor enhance a man’s prestige. A child cannot give us things; it’s the other way around. A child needs things. A child must have things done for him. And so Jesus is saying, "If a man welcomes the poor, ordinary people, the people who have no influence, no wealth, and no power, the people who need things done for them, then he’s welcoming me. And more than that, he’s welcoming God."
