WE ARE TO BE LITTLE CHILDREN
Mat. 18; 1-4 At the same time came the disciples, unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them. And said, “Verily, I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall NOT enter the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
Little children, huh? What can we say about little children? Little beings, made in Gods image, that take no thought for their lives. Little ones are full of joy and just spend their time doing what God created them to do. Just being little children! They have no fear, for they know their needs are totally met. They wake up every day, bright eyed and bushy tailed, enjoying what the new day brings. They obey their parents, for they know it’s in their best interest. They are full excitement and a will to learn. Oh, the joy a little one brings to their world! We laugh at their antics; we smile at their desires, we cry when they are in pain. We wish no harm for them and offer our total protection. We are there for them, for the rest of their lives.
And Jesus said, I am to be like that? Your kidding me! Unless I become like one of those, I can not enter heaven? So I should take no thought for my life, know my needs are totally met, be what God created me to be and obey my Father? What, like Jesus, a child totally dependent upon His Father?
It’s the truth that sets us free, if we will only believe what He says!
