Many of us are familiar with the passage in which Jesus proclaims “Unless you become like a little child you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven, whoever humbles himself like a little child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven.”(Matt 18:3-4) There are several wonderful truths found in this passage.

First, why must we convert and be like a child? And how does that even happen? Well when I look at children I see so many wonderful characteristics. Children are beautiful, loving, and joyful; the list goes on and on. It seems obvious that we need to act like children however I do not think that is what Jesus was getting at. After all He used the word “converted” The number one characteristic that children display is the ability to receive. Let me explain. Children are completely dependent upon their parents. From the day they are born they are at the mercy of whoever is taken care of them. They get changed, fed, dressed, and everything else. What is so amazing about this is the child can not work for any of this. The child has nothing to give to his parents, and parents do not expect their child to give them anything. In fact they wouldn’t want their child to give them anything. Parents long to nurture and love their children without any strings attached. My friends that is how our Heavenly Father longs to take care of us. No strings attached, no works needed. He longs to nurture and love us like little children. He longs for us to run to His arms and cry out “Abba Father”.

The reason becoming a child is so important is because Jesus said “We shall not enter the kingdom if we don’t” The only way you can not enter the kingdom is by not receiving the free gift of salvation. The Pharisees relied upon their works to gain right standing with God but we all know it was not even close to being enough. Only the perfect work of the Son of Man could fulfill that calling and only by faith in Him can we enter into the Kingdom.

That is why Jesus said “whoever humbles himself like a child is the greatest” because that person is now receiving and not relying on their own works, but the finished work of Christ! When you rely on His work you can’t help but be great. Friends let’s just receive the goodness and grace from God like a little child. Let us never leave that place and always know that our Father loves us with no strings attached.
