And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3
Jesus brings us back to childlikeness. What characterizes a child?
One thing is dependence. The humility of a child is expressed by their awareness of their lack of self-sufficiency. They are completely dependent on someone else.
Young children don’t clothe themselves or put their own food on the table yet they don’t worry. Doubts about these things don’t enter their mind. They just trust.
When we travel with our children, they are never worried about the bus fares, about
where they are going, or when they are
coming home. They just trust their parents. To live a wholesome Christian life, we must become
childlike again.
*In the Christian life, we mature
by becoming childlike.*
A physical child grows from dependence to independence. *A spiritual child of God must grow from independence to dependence.* It is the reversal of the natural order of things.
Jesus is saying that we must change and it’s not going to be accidental.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please help me become a child again, dependent on You alone every day.
