Become Like a Child

There’s a simplicity about childhood that most of us outgrow.
I think Jesus was letting us in on one of the great truths of all time when he said that we must become like little children to enter the kingdom of God. His point was that anyone who wants to become a Christian must have faith like that of a child.
Children are different from adults. They depend on their parents for everything. Children are also believers. Faith comes easily. Doubt is something that we learn as we grow older. To be childlike in relation to God, means taking God at his word and admitting our helplessness. It means trusting him to provide for our basic needs and loving him more than anything else in the world.
Jesus was saying that only those who connect to God like a child to a parent, will enter His kingdom.
