Let us never outgrow our child-likeness. The energy and the interest to explore and learn whatever with humility and open-mindedness. The ability to ask and to trust. Such are the requirements to receive the kingdom of God.
Lessons:
- Humility:
- Children are naturally humble, free from the pride and self-reliance that can hinder adults from accepting God's grace.
- Trust:
- Children often have a simple and trusting faith. Jesus highlights the importance of this kind of trusting belief in God.
- Openness:
- Children are open to new things and experiences. Entering the kingdom might require letting go of preconceived notions and embracing God's will.
- Dependence:
- Children rely on their parents for provision and care. This can be seen as a call to depend on God completely.
- Value of Children:
- Jesus elevates the status of children, implying that they are not to be dismissed or overlooked but rather valued and esteemed.
- Inclusivity
- Children welcome others even from other ages and races
