What does the Bible say about humility in Matthew 18?

Answered in 1 source

Matthew 18 emphasizes humility by illustrating that the greatest in the kingdom of heaven must become like little children.

In Matthew 18, Jesus teaches His disciples about the nature of greatness in the kingdom of heaven. He explains that there is no corporate ladder to climb; instead, true greatness is found in humility and being like a child. Jesus calls a little child to Him as an example, illustrating that one must become humble and dependent like a child to enter the kingdom. He highlights that this humility is not merely about lowliness but also about being teachable, obedient, and trusting without ambition or desire for greatness. This starkly contrasts with worldly views on power and status, where 'the least' is 'the greatest.'
