MATTHEW 18:3
UNLESS YOU ARE CONVERTED AND BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN
In the Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 18, we read that His disciples came to Him, asking about who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus answered them by calling a small child to Him, sitting with the child in the midst of them, and telling them that if they did not change their way of thinking and begin to fully trust Him and what He taught, they would not even enter into the Kingdom of Heaven! If they would humble themselves and be like little children, full of awe and wonder, they would be the greatest in the Kingdom!
As a Spiritually Minded Believer, we believe without question; we trust without question! Have you ever noticed, while raising children, that around 4 years of age children begin to question everything? If you tell or show them something they begin asking "Why?". They are not asking for a detailed explanation of the inner workings of a complicated issue or even for the finer details of a certain topic. They are simply asking about basic information, so you keep it simple, in terms they can readily understand. A loving parent should never say "because I said so, that's why!"
We must always remember that Holy Spirit is our guide. As we learn to follow Jesus, He will lead us into all truth. He will instruct us as to what to say and how to best represent the Kingdom we have been entrusted to enforce! Little children follow their guide gladly without being unruly or disobedient.
