That which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God.[1] The founders of the kingdom of God are the simple.

Not the rich, not the learned, not priests; but women, common people, the humble, and the young.[2] The great characteristic of the Messiah is, that "the poor have the gospel preached to them."[3] The idyllic and gentle nature of Jesus here resumed the superiority.

A great social revolution, in which rank will be overturned, in which all authority in this world will be humiliated, was his dream.

The world will not believe him; the world will kill him.

But his disciples will not be of the world.[4] They will be a little flock of the humble and the simple, who will conquer by their very humility.
