In Matthew, Jesus Christ Himself urged us to look to children as an example of the qualities needed to enter the kingdom of heaven. When His disciples wondered who would be greatest, He did not offer a list of accomplishments or status—He instead placed a child before them and taught that true greatness comes through humility, purity, and trust.
This piece aims to reflect that sacred moment in a modernized way, with Christ surrounded by children, their innocence and openness reflecting the very attributes He calls us to emulate. In them, we see the essence of discipleship—an invitation to lay aside pride, embrace humility, and trust in Him completely.
