As a child
Jesus said,
“I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." Mark 10:15.
A few days ago as I write this, an elderly woman in our church named Anne went to be with the Lord. She had, had a full life, rising from poverty to the middle class.
Throughout her life God had provided for her. And she gave God the glory for all He had provided for her.
Anne had a simple faith. She read her Bible through many times. Her family noting she’d worn out many bibles in her eighty plus years on this earth.
During the service in our small church you could hear Anne singing. During the pastors sermon she’d call out an unabashed “praise the Lord!” when she agreed with him.
It wasn’t until after she passed away into Glory that I remembered this scripture Mark 10:15.
I know Anne was an adult when she came to know The Lord, but she accepted Him as a little child. Believing the Gospel of Christ without doubt.
An example in my mind to all who would chose to follow Christ Jesus. An example of what Jesus meant when He told us to accept the Kingdom of God as a Child.
Do you have a Childlike faith in Christ?
Please think about it.
