We live in an upside-down world and we have allowed ourselves to be convinced that the things that belong on the bottom are really at the top and that the things that belong at the top are really at the bottom. We're also much more comfortable conforming ourselves to the world as it appears to be rather than living in the world as God has created it. What if we decided as the people of God to receive all people as though we were receiving God himself? If we take Jesus at his word, then that's what we're doing when we receive the lowly in his name.
