Funny that you mention Matthew 18 in this context “Apostles...”
I recently reread it and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
http://biblehub.com/blb/matthew/18.htm
Here is what hit me. What was Jesus’ answer to the question “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of the heavens?” “I am going to send Apostles to you who will be the greatest”? No. It was to grab a little kid and set it in front of them. A little kid is the greatest in the Kingdom of God. Then later he warns against stumbling little kids.
My takeaway is that serving little kids is serving the greatest in the Kingdom of God. Apostles never forget who they serve... “the little children” and don’t ever think that Christians are serving them.
