Faith Like a Child?

[IL_ray_phillips]

This scripture says unless you become as little children you will not enter the kindom of heaven. What do you think Jesus was saying?
Matt:18:2-3




And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

IMO Jesus is showing the dependance and trust a child has in his Father. What ever Daddy says is the gospel. He has the power, the knowledge, the wisdom ect. and is everything the child needs at that point in his life. The child has total trust and confidence if anything Daddy says. Daddy has never failed him so he doesn't question, he just believes anything Daddy says. Daddy always does the right thing, so the child is willing to be lead and to be taught by him. The Child worships his Father and wants to be just like Daddy.
Nevertheless when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth.

Good! I was reading this scriptureand thought back to when I was a child. I got out of bed and was fed by my parents. Didnt have to rush and get ready to do the 50 things on the agenda. Didnt have the worries of rising food prices, gas prices, car breaking down, work, house repairs because it was all taken care of. The world is a major downfall for many. It entraps us with all it has to offer and consumes our minds taking away childhood.Thanks be to Jesus that through him we can go to the father and have and have that childhood dependancy again.

Man, I look at my children every day and wish I could go back to that care free sorta thinking and feeling. It will be like a kid on Christmas day opening his or her presents. I can only imagine!

I think it means simple faith and belief.
