JESUS said, "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." Humble dependent Trustfulness upon the KING, The Father and His Son. Will you ignore, oppose, or accept this Truth? The way you enter, grow, and reach out in the Kingdom of God is this: plainly and clearly become as a little child. First, You must become as a little child inwardly, and be born again of the Holy Spirit. You must become childlike, not childish. You must come to JESUS His way, not your way. As a baby needs their mother most of all; likewise, your Soul needs JESUS CHRIST.
Naaman, the Syrian general, had to humble himself, take off all of his military regalia, strip down, and dip in the muddy Jordan river. Elisha told him to go jump in the river; this was a very offensive message, but Naaman humbled himself, and he was cured. Nicodemus was a religious boss, but he humbled himself, came to JESUS by night, laid aside all of his religious rank, and realized he must be born again. Nicodemus realized all of his religiousness was vain and hopeless. JESUS must increase, but I must decrease. Religion says, "If you want to get in, you have to qualify based on what we think." The Almighty God humbled Himself, and became a Jewish child at Bethlehem-Judah.
The world says, "When my children are old enough, they will decide on their own what they should eat, and when they need to brush their teeth and go to bed, and when they need to wash and groom themselves, and when they need to learn to read and write, and when they need to learn about and believe on JESUS. I will let them make up their own minds in due time."
Your outlook in life must be focused; your eye must be single and aimed at the Son of God, or you will be full of darkness. Be Wise NOW, Look unto JESUS alone and receive HIM.
The world worships greatness (but JESUS became poor), bigness (but JESUS became a baby), power (but JESUS was crucified through weakness), prestige (but JESUS was born in a manger and lived in obscurity), position (but JESUS became a servant), publicity (but JESUS made Himself of no reputation). May the Holy Spirit awaken and enable you to simply become as a little child and freely enter the Kingdom of God today through childlike faith in LORD JESUS CHRIST Who loved you and gave Himself for your sins.
