Matthew 18:1-5
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. “Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “And whoever receives one such child in My name receives me."
The disciples argued about who would be the greatest. They lost their focus, as do we if we are not careful. They were being childish.
So JESUS used a child as an example showing them and us that we should be childlike having faith and trusting as a child. Not trying to uplift ourselves and be #1.
Childish: Auguring over petty issues, trying to be better then others. Self-Centered.
Childlike: Humble, trusting. Wanting to learn with a sincere heart.
So are you being Childish or Childlike??
*come back tomorrow for verse 6*
In His Name
GOD bless you and yours...
