As A Little Child
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Expect ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:1-2). This is how Jesus characterized conversion. Like the Beatitudesc, it pictures faith as the simple, helpless, trusting dependence of those who have no resources of their own. Like children, they have no achievements and accomplishments to offer or commend themselves with. We likewise must be willing to become just as the Word of God states here. As little children who're in need of the blessed provisions of our loving heavenly Father. But, how does one do so? Jesus Christ make this very clear within the pages of the Word of God so there's no excuse we can give. As a little child. This is the position we each must take when coming to the Lord Jesus Chris
