That's a clever reading I haven't encountered before!

I was struck by how Jesus says “Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High,”
almost as if our reward for behaving like our Father would is to truly be his child, and share in the blessings of his household.

We are sons of God through our faith, but are perhaps particularly blessed when we act like sons of God??

It is we, all mankind who have left Jerusalem for Jericho, left the heavenly city for the earthy one. We encountered a theif who beat us and robbed us and left us half dead. The son of God came and rescued us and took us to His Inn, the church, and asked the Innkeeper to look after us. Then he went out to find the theif and defeat him and he returned three days later to the Inn to check up on us and fellowship with us.
