At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Then he called a little child over to sit among the disciples, and said, “I assure you that if you don’t turn your lives around and become like this little child, you will definitely not enter the kingdom of heaven. Those who humble themselves like this little child will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. “As for whoever causes these little ones who believe in me to trip and fall into sin, it would be better for them to have a huge stone hung around their necks and be drowned in the bottom of the lake. How terrible it is for the world because of the things that cause people to trip and fall into sin! Such things have to happen, but how terrible it is for the person who causes those things to happen! (Matthew 18:1-7, CEB)
Children know they don’t know everything. (I sometimes wonder about this with teenagers, but not the point…)
Children trust and have faith that they will be cared for, and that they don’t need to know everything. Adults are afraid to admit they don’t know. That they need help.
We all need to be children in the Kingdom. Knowing that we don’t know or have all the answers but trusting in God to be there and support us and take care of us.
So give up knowing, and trust that God is and always will be there for you.
Loving People. Loving God.
