We all have this tendency to make ourselves greater than we are, and make others smaller, and the consequences are division and destruction.  Jesus knows this sinful tendency, and knows we are blind to it, so he puts up a mirror for us to see.  As the disciples fight, he takes a small child and&#8230;
