Who is the wisest person you ever knew? What makes a person wise? How can we become a little wiser than we already are? 

The biblical book of James contrasted two sorts of wisdom - worldly wisdom and the wisdom from heaven. Worldly wisdom concerns working out how to get the best for yourself. Heavenly wisdom is about belonging and kindness; peace, mercy and love for everyone. 

Jesus placed a child amongst disciples who had been arguing about who was the greatest. Can we learn heavenly wisdom from a child?
