Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 18:10

"See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven." — Matthew 18:10 (ASV)

Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones;

So apt to do so, when a man appears to have no perfect knowledge, no large pretensions, we are so apt to think, "Oh! he is a nobody."

For I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

There is an angel to watch over each child of God; the heirs of heaven have those holy spirits to keep watch and guard over them.

These sacred intelligences, who watch over the people of God, at the same time behold God's face. They do his commandments, listening to the voice of his word, and beholding his face all the while.

And if these little ones are thus honorably attended by the angels of God, never despise them. They may be dressed in humble attire, they may wear the very cheapest of fabrics, but they are attended like princes; therefore, treat them as such.
