Jesus Rejoices in the Father's Will Luke 10:21-24 --- Be Humble to Learn the Truth

Do we feel we know and learn not and then when things go wrong we blame others for not telling us?
What is the Father's will for us? Be humble and open-minded to see the truth of God's grace, especially the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ for us.


Lessons:

  • #1 God reveals Himself to all but only those who behave like little children will be able to see and receive it.
  • #2 Childlikeness is:
    • Only the child's purity, unbiasedness, and willingness to learn, can see God. The one who thinks he knows will not see.
    • Children are others-centered - parents, siblings ...
    • Gemini:
      • Humility: Children are open to learning and lack the pride or self-assuredness that can hinder understanding spiritual truths.

      • Openness: Children are curious and eager to learn, approaching new things with a fresh perspective.

  • #3 Forget not the danger of false teachings
    • Learn to judge with God's revelation of values and truth
