Day 55 - Chapter 10, Verses 13-16


And people were bringing children to him that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them,"Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it." Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.

Once again, ‘normal adult expectations’ are overruled and the dependency and innocence of childhood is held up as an example for us. What does it mean for you ‘to accept the Kingdom of God like a child’?
