Christmas? Amusement parks? They may or may not bring out the child in you. But knowing Jesus, trusting Jesus? That should keep the child alive in you. And I am so grateful that what Jesus did for us He said requires simply the faith of a little child to possess it. What He did on the cross, dying for our sins, loving us enough to pay the penalty we deserve, that that is something a child can grasp, and theologians can explore the depths of. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2018:3&version=NIV 2009-10-01T23:02:49-05:00 Childlike faith--faith that is simple, direct, and honest--is praised by Jesus as the key to finding the kingdom of God. To truly understand God's kingdom, we must emulate the straightforward and earnest faith of little children. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2018:17&version=NIV 2009-09-03T17:55:13-05:00 Jesus tells us in Luke that unless we become like a child we will never enter the Kingdom of God. He says this with children surrounding him.
